A bit about the resort
Hotel Cedriana Djerba 3 * (Djerba, Tunisia), as we have already mentioned, is located in the northern part of the island of Djerba, which is the southernmost sea resort of the country. It is always a little warmer here than on the continent. The island is famous for its fine sand beaches, a huge selection of modern hotels for every taste and wealth, as well as the best centers of thalassotherapy.
Sea vacations can be combined with sightseeing of local attractions, which are abundant in Djerba. The capital of the island is Houmt Souk, and the second largest city is Midoun. All other settlements on Djerba are small.

Weather
Tunisia attracts vacationers primarily for its prices. And Djerba is interesting for tourists in terms of climatic conditions. The island is located in the Bay of Gabes and is close to the Sahara, where additional heat comes from. As a result, its climate is warm and mild, and the swimming season lasts almost the entire year.
The high season begins in April and ends in November. During this period, the air temperature rises to 22 degrees. But from December to March, the thermometer does not drop below 15-17 degrees in the daytime, but at night it can be quite cool (5-7 degrees).
Local Attractions
Relaxing on the island, you can visit the most interesting sights. There is public transport on Djerba, but it usually does not reach the right places, so if you plan to move around the island on your own, it is better to rent a car or take a taxi. Such trips will be much cheaper than tours of tour operators.
Tourists will be interested to see the Gazi Mustafa fortress, which is located in the capital of Houmt Souk. It was built back in the ninth century to protect against pirate raids. The fortress is made of local sandstone and is very beautiful in the rays of the setting or rising sun.
The Jerba Lagoon is a stunningly beautiful place inhabited by pink flamingos. Feathered birds have long chosen salty shallow water in the north-east of the island. In winter, the lagoon is a swaying pink carpet of birds.
The La Griba Synagogue is popular with tourists. It is located in a small village and on the outside is nothing interesting. But her interior is worth a look. In its walls are stored the oldest books and documents.

General impression of the hotel
Club Cedriana Djerba 3 * (Djerba) has its own beach.
