Pay attention to the ceramics from Gellalla - Simple but elegant jugs, similar on vintage amphoras.
Tourists note that the prices for souvenirs on Djerba are average above than on other Tunisian resorts. Djerba is an island, so most of the goods are not done in place, but is brought from other cities. From here and the difference in value. We recommend to bargain when buying the souvenir you like, often sellers overestimate the price several times.
Kitchen
Most dishes that serve in restaurants hotels and cafes do not differ from those eating in other resorts. On the table will necessarily be a sharp shore soup, stuffed with meat sweet pepper, famous Tajin (roast with lamb), couscous with vegetables.
There is in the kitchen Djerba and "Seashell". In coastal restaurants it is worth trying freshly powered fresh fish or octopus.
Humt-bit the largest city On the island of Djerba.
Almost half of all the inhabitants of the island live here, and this is not a little bit of 65 thousand people. On local Jerbinsky standards, just a megapolis!
We were delivered here literally for an hour so that we walked our own and appreciated the level of security. :)
Anyway, the main attraction here is the market or otherwise "Suk", from which the name of the whole city has come. Initially, people just gathered here and bought and sold their goods to each other. Fishermen brought fish, potters - their pots, producers of olive oil - oil, in general, just a bazaar. Professional merchants began to settle right next to the market, and the city was formed. Once the main thing in the city is a bazaar, it means that I will start and let's see, and then we'll see what there will be time.
The weather on that day was not too bright, because all the pictures in the series are slightly muffled, without a big contrast and bright details.
One of the entrances to the market. The photo is noticeable by a person whom I naive immediately did not send Nafig! It was necessary not to be modest and not to waste time on him, he dragged us into some kind of lava with every trash, when I said that it was all selected, he was a little upset and offered to go to another that another 5 minutes before him showed another Similar to the name. In general, do not get on it, but send them right away, they will not be very offended, they have such a job. :)
2.
Something thermonuclear and in the idea of \u200b\u200bsweet look. They did not try. In general, I am pretty alert to the markets and I don't really like them to be honest. It would not be a tour of anything would not go, but they say it is necessary and the blogger is poured. :)

On the market, all the merchants in their mass are positively and amazing and surprisingly, but almost no one embarrassed the overseas citizens with cameras, everyone acted either as if we were not, or showed the warring, tried to treat or sell. Neither aggression, although stereotypically and subconsciously, I do not really trust the Arabs, you begin to relax here.
4.
Wash which melon, small but tasty! :)
5.
These are clearly not up to us, they are busy in their phones, probably new Sberbankonline services test. P2R Translations do without commission. :)
6.
Came to the national office of fish.
Here they have a fish auction. What a joke was told to us, but at that moment something took out something and only journalists were recorded on the recorder's records that they would not be decrypted. :)
7.
While there are no little serious fish to the auctioners you can see. I want to try everyone! (I'm running forward. I will say that after that we went to the fish restaurant, where they hung out excellent local fish. There I did not shoot, because I was very hungry.)
8.
Auction itself. GalDyat, each other is shown.
It looks just like a scenery or tribute tradition, but everyone behave around seriously, no one smiles. Probably such rules.
9.
After such a browser, as in the photo above it is not clear how this little thing is so valuable, what do you need auction with it?
10.
A bunch of heels leaving a gentleman in the first row!
11.
Other sellers and without auction are not bad.
12.
We run away from the fish market, hinking and intimidating saliva on probably very tasty fresh fish.
13.
The market is universal, you can buy almost everything here. In general, everything is like us, only people others.
14.
Rows with live bird and delicious rabbits. I stroked and you can eat. Warranty 100% Freshness! :)
15.
Do not love rabbits - buy toys.
16.
Or turn into some Berbert under the skillful hands of the black fabric voter. I barely escaped out of them, I thought he would also put me out and made a querulent Self trembling hand. :)
17.
It's time to go from one market to get under the next.
18.
Oh gods, no, we literally broke out of the world of ceramics and here again he.
All the same as in Gellala, but at least twice cheaper and people are ready to bargain ...
19.
Having left the second market just walk through the streets and the photo to the right and left without any system. You know how the proto is walking around the city without a map and plan.
Of course, no one in the smartphone was, but there was definitely no plan. The guide told us only about the market ...
20.
It caused a certain surprise the number of women behind the wheel of transport in Humt-bitch and in general on Djerba. It seems such a men's country and women, although after the woman the minister could be assumed.
21.
The street is almost typical. The riches of North Africa on it quite imperceptibly.
22.
Something from the dough is certainly very sweet and tasty.
23.
24.
One of the mosques of Humt-bitch. I did not wear inside. The place is clearly not tourist, but about Muslims all sorts of passion are told, you should not provoke. Previously, Christians were so daring and they will pass with time.
25.
Beautiful fleet, real Reserve Old french cars.

30.
Do you know that the flag of Tunisia is almost like the flag of Turkey, only the crescent with the star is not white, and in the White Circle in the middle of the red cloth?
31.
It seems that we again returned to the market quarters, only here are not counters, but shops with all sorts of differences very similar to souvenir.
32.
Although there are no direct sun rays, but the palette from the sky is quite decent, the shadow does not particularly save.
33.
In each gentleman's shop. You can wander and get lost.
34.
I got lost - you sing!
35.
Or buy a lamp of the alladin and calling Ginna!

37.
As far as I do not like, when everything is risen, but here it is quite harmonious, in eastern, very africa does not smell. Or is it not Africa at all?
38.
39.
Inscriptions in Arabic tell us: Guys are you in the Middle East! :)
40.
And I want to break out to the bus and time ends, but how can't you find a way out, everything seems the same.
41.
Attractive shop, very good that I decided to fly without luggage and money I have only 10 dinar with me. I won't buy any trash, I'll look at the photo and enough.
42.
In one place, I decided to see the bag, I did not have to look. She spent 10 minutes to communicate with the seller who did not know how to sell it. She cost 150 dinar, and I had 10 times less, he did not know how much I am wrong Russian and traded almost myself, dropping and dropping the price, offering me to call my own. :)
43.
Tell me how can I buy everything you like? In my opinion it is easier to give yourself a setting not to buy anything. Neither some souvenirs did not have any souvenirs, bring people at best on the shelf, and in the worst immediately after your care will throw out and correctly. Who needs other people's impressions?
44.
How do you like a cell? In my opinion it is chic!
45.
The feeling of wonderful did not leave the jerbinets with the departure of the French.
46.
It is not necessary to settle in the hotel's hotels all inclusive, you can certainly be in such a market. It will be much cheaper and more unusual, but who will agree to this tourists?
47.
Made another circle and went to the bus. So it's time to leave. No one was left on this bitch, everyone returned entirely and unsolved, security check by a group of Russian journalists and bloggers The capital of Djerba passed.

Seven narrative about the chumt-bitch is over. Write the letters and ask questions in the comments, and I will go to look for a thread from the photos of Dagestan or still in Djerba, we were there for 4 days there were, and this is at least then the month of the stories, but I went for the third, but photos still There are unpublished and interesting, believe me! :)
52.
Thanks for attention!
- Just Married?
- Yes, yes ... yes yes (we are in marriage for 1.5 years, but we still have a honeymoon)
Well, once they asked, probably there will be a chic room with a good view. Never mistaken so. They gave the keys to the disgusting number, for example: the water in the shower did not merge, the furniture is old, at night twice for the phone someone mistakenly called, etc. Next after the room inspection, went to dinner: there are many people, waiters did not come to the people Each and something to spare, then cutlery, then bottled water, then something else. After dinner, upset, they decided to go to sleep, since "Morning in the evening wisen." Looking in the morning with a good mood, the first thing ran to the reception, so that we change the number, fortunately, the service of reception and placement in this second was fulfilled our request. This time the room was much better than the previous one: a spacious room, furniture newer, the bathroom is much better and good view From the balcony. The only thing that we are ready to give a bad assessment is for cleaning. They were cleaned disgusting, we were constantly shown, where they were not dominated / subsided, which lacks, at first they tried to give tips in hand - it was useless, complained to administrators - it is useless, soon we scored and stopped leaveing \u200b\u200btips. After the resettlement, it went to breakfast and impressions completely different: friendly waiters, many free places (on the terrace or inside the restaurant) and a varied breakfast menu. After breakfast, they decided to familiarize themselves in more detail with the hotel, it is worth noting that the territory is almost a whole microdistrict: a huge main building with a beautiful hall, a lot of bungalows, a few pools, a lot of restaurants, bars and even there is a hookah. The hotel has the first coastline and its own beach with small and white sand. The sea, by the way, is very clean and transparent, but there was a small problem - for the night, a lot of algae nailed, and every morning the hotel staff with the help of the technique was quickly cleaned the beach. The hotel is simply super, 100 points out of 100. I was lucky to participate in the Mr. Hotel's competition (this competition was held every two weeks), in addition, we participated in a variety of entertainment, shot out of Luke, played golf, engaged in gymnastics, Sometimes they occupied prizes (every evening before the next show we were awarded with diplomas, and pleasant). And also, we have always participated in front of the lunch in competitions from the hotel, the wins received valuable prizes (souvenir plates, a trip on quad bikes / hydrocycles, a session in SPA, etc.), I was also fortunate enough to win a valuable prize - a trip on quad bikes.
As for food for lunch and dinner. Menu is diverse, few times when something is repeated. There was all: crabs, cream soups, pasta and sauces, baking, delicacies, salads, roast, pilaf, fish, fruit, ice cream, donuts, pizza, pancakes, various alcoholic / not alcoholic beverages, etc. Nevertheless, we They made sure that the very end of the closure came on the very end, so we had bad impressions.
