You step off the ferry from Djerba and the air changes — dry, bright, carrying the salt of the Mediterranean and the faint grit of desert wind that dares you to look further inland. The road unfurls across an ancient Roman causeway, through low olive groves, and toward the ochre silhouettes of ksour that once stored grain and stories.
