Carry small bills
Many souk vendors prefer cash for small purchases and tipping; ATMs exist but can be limited—bring enough Tunisian dinar for market buys.
Sun protection is non‑negotiable
Djerba is exposed and reflective—wide‑brim hat, sunscreen and sunglasses make wandering mid‑day comfortable.
Modest clothing for sacred sites
Wear shoulders‑covering tops and long shorts or a skirt when visiting mosques or the synagogue to show respect and ease access.
