Discover Djerbahood – Tunisia's Open-Air Street Art Museum

Hidden in the historic village of Erriadh in the heart of the island of Djerba lies one of Tunisia's most unique cultural treasures: Djerbahood, a remarkable open-air museum where street art transforms an entire village into a living work of art.

More than 150 internationally renowned artists from over 30 countries have turned the village's whitewashed walls, traditional houses, and winding alleyways into vibrant canvases. Every mural tells a different story, blending contemporary creativity with the rich heritage of Djerba.

Unlike a traditional museum, Djerbahood is alive. Local families continue their daily routines, children play in the narrow streets, and cafés welcome visitors just steps away from famous murals. This unique combination of authentic village life and international street art creates an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else.

Why Explore Djerbahood with a Local Tunisian Guide?

The colorful murals are impressive on their own, but their true meaning often remains hidden without local insight.

As your local Tunisian guide, Tawfik Jendouba will take you beyond the artwork itself. You'll discover stories behind the murals, learn about the artists who created them, and understand how this extraordinary project transformed Erriadh into one of the world's most celebrated street art destinations.

Tawfik will also introduce you to the island's rich history, architecture, traditions, and multicultural heritage. Tawfik lives with his family actually in Djerahood. He is not only from Djerba – he is from Djerbahood. Djerba has long been known as a place where different cultures and religions have coexisted peacefully, and this unique history is reflected throughout the village. You will find a kosher falafel shop just next to the Arab coffesstore.

As a local he will lead you through hidden alleyways, point out lesser-known artworks, and share local stories that many visitors never hear.
