Ajim

Ajim lies on the southwestern shore of Djerba, facing the narrow waters between the island and the Tunisian mainland. Its harbour and crossing place connect the island with the coast across the channel. Djerba’s dispersed settlements and farms are set among olive trees and palms, with mosques forming landmarks across the island. The shallow Gulf of Gabès surrounds this low-lying coast, where fishing and maritime movement have long been part of local life.
