Guellala Heritage Museum
متحف قلالة
A folk museum on a hilltop in Guellala, using life-size figure scenes to recreate Djerban weddings, crafts and daily life.
متحف قلالة sits on the high ground northeast of Guellala village, one of the island's higher viewpoints, with views over the southern bay. Its multiple lifelike scene models, costumes and objects cover traditional weddings, festivals, pottery, weaving and oil pressing in Djerba and across Tunisia. The museum also presents the Ibadi mosque architecture of the island and local folk legends, making it a good quick introduction to local culture. Admission is about 10–15 dinars (check locally), and a visit takes about an hour. It is often combined with the Guellala pottery village.
Opening hours
About 8:00 AM–7:00 PM (closes earlier in winter)
