Midoun Town & Friday Market
ميدون
Djerba's second-largest town, right next to the hotel zone. Its Friday market sells spices, cloth, pottery and camel ornaments.
ميدون lies in eastern Djerba and is the town closest to the hotel zone. Its centre has a white market, cafés and restaurants, and it feels more relaxed than Houmt Souk. The big market on Friday mornings is the liveliest, with traders coming from across the island and the mainland to sell spices, fruit, fabric, pottery and second-hand goods, a good way to experience local life. Several times a week the town stages traditional wedding performances (Fantasia) for visitors, which should be booked through your hotel. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the hotel zone, and the tourist train also passes through. When shopping, bargain and keep an eye on your belongings.
