With colorful markets especially near Place d'Algérie, Borj El Kebir (a fort with no signs on the building itself but with an explanation room, you could pop by for a visit after the boat ride -- great for kids to run around), and the marina/port to the north, and Habib Bourguiba street (a charming replica of the giant one in Tunis). In the marché central one finds the traditional 'fish criers' - men seated on high blue stools auctioning a line of freshly caught fish to the crowd.
Houmt Souk, meaning literally: "The Market neighbourhood", is a commune and the main town of the island of Djerba, Tunisia. A popular tourist destination, it is best known for its traditional souk and the Aghlabid fortress.

كنيسة القديس نيكولاس الأرثوذكسية اليونانية
A small whitewashed church, built in the early 20th century, serving the Greek Orthodox community of Djerba.
A collection of street art by international artists scattered around the laneways of Hara Sghira. Nothing partiularly Earth-shattering but a fun Instagram opportunity nonetheless.
Called the Flamingo or Pirates Island, this is a peninsula where flamingoes are present during the colder months starting in October. Ship cruises costing 20 DT per person for walk-ons (and about 40-45 DT per person for the hotel groups) are available at the Houmt Souk marina/port. The crews are energetic, passionate, and fun and the buffet lunch on the peninsula is wonderful. The package runs around 9AM to 3:30PM. There is loud dancing music on the boat, but the water is delightful and the trip is worth the price even for non-dancers.
