Djerba has a striking flora, characterised by palms and olive trees. More than one million palms and 500.000 olive trees that are over 2000 year old transform Djerba into a huge, fabulous garden. Djerba’s fauna only gets interesting with the end of summer. Now the season of migratory birds begins and you can see many seagulls, wading birds, egrets and of course flamingos. Among domestic animals, the dromedary, the one-humped camel, is the most interesting one. The surrounding, shallow waters offer a colourful marine fauna. However, Djerba is not really recommendable for nature lovers. Apart from palms and olive trees, there is not much more to see in summers. Only persons travelling from November to March might wish to take a look at a verdant flora and interesting visitor birds.
