A private journey from Sfax into the authentic heart of the Kerkennah Islands.
Cross the Sea
Your adventure begins with a 1.5-hour ferry ride from Sfax to Kerkennah. Leave the mainland behind, feel the sea breeze, watch the islands appear on the horizon, and let yourself slow down.
The ferry is not just transportation — it is the beginning of your island experience.
Meet Kerkennah's People
After arriving, drive about 30 minutes to Ramla and meet local islanders.
Discover how traditional products such as bsisa, chriha, rob and dried grapes (zbib) are prepared. Taste, ask questions and share a genuine moment with the people who keep these traditions alive.
Enter the Fisherman's World
Meet a local fisherman and head out by boat into the Kerkennian waters.
Discover the ancient Charfia fishing technique, learn how the tides and palm-frond traps work, and experience traditional fishing directly from the sea.
Taste the Island
After your sea adventure, sit down for a traditional local lunch.
Enjoy fresh fish from the day's catch when available, or discover a local specialty such as Kerkennian couscous with octopus.
Here, the sea you just experienced becomes part of your table.
Step Into Kerkennah's Memory
Visit the Kerkennah Island Heritage Museum (Dar El Fehri) in El Abbassia.
Discover traditional clothing, fishing tools, household objects, ceremonies and stories that reveal how island families lived through generations.
Discover the World of Salt
Continue to La Maison du Sel, surrounded by Kerkennah's unique salt landscape.
Meet the local host, hear the story of salt production, discover the salt marshes and explore the small cabin filled with different local salt products.
Return With More Than Photos
Return to the ferry and sail back toward Sfax.
By now, Kerkennah is no longer just an island you visited.
It is the fisherman you met, the food you tasted, the stories you heard, the sea you crossed and the people who welcomed you.
