Fadhloun Mosque
جامع فضلون
A 14th-century Ibadi fortified mosque with whitewashed walls and low buttresses, a representative example of Djerba's mosque architecture.
جامع فضلون lies beside the road between Houmt Souk and Midoun. Built around the 14th century, it is one of the best-preserved traditional mosques on the island that is open to visitors. Its architecture combines a prayer hall, a Quranic school, a bread oven, storerooms and a well. The thick, rounded walls double as defences and reflect the austere Ibadi aesthetic. The mosque is also a core component of Djerba's World Heritage nomination. It is no longer used for daily prayer, and visitors may enter for a fee (about 5–8 dinars, check locally). Dress modestly. A stop of 30–40 minutes is enough when travelling by car or bus.
Opening hours
About 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (may pause Friday midday)
