Djerba DJE Airport Shuttle

Located less than 5 miles from the nearest beach town, and only further from every other getaway on the island, Djerba-Zarzis International Airport makes arriving to most locales a bit difficult, especially if you’re new to the area. Get through the area’s 200-square-miles with the help of a shuttle, enjoying custom drop-offs and plenty of space by booking through either local providers or area companies.

Consider where you want your shuttle to drop you off before making arrangements, considering the most popular coastal getaways, whether it’s Djerba Ajim nearby access to the mainland, or a slew of northeast beauties that include Mezraia, Djerba Midoun, and Aghir, all of which provide scenic beach resorts with surreal views of the Mediterranean Sea as well as popular parks, historic forts, and theme parks perfect for the whole family to hang out. There are also a few central towns and villages that trade easy beach access in exchange for total silence, a popular option being Sedouikech.

And above all, organize your trip, starting with your shuttle reservation. Print out your confirmation email the moment it arrives, doing the same for any other important bookings, whether it’s a view of the wildlife via Blue Dolphin Diving Center or a special event at the Yasmine Djerba Holiday Hall. Be sure to backup all personal documentation as well, scanning your driver’s license, passport, and medical prescriptions, then storing each scan either in your email or on some sort of secure cloud service.

Enjoy your time within the airport as much as outside by doing the most with what’s on-site, making delays fly by with several shops, eateries, and services.

Also close is the festive street art of Djerbahood, home to unique murals and designs along the various old walls of Hara Sghira Er Riadh just east of the airport.
