In the heart of the island, Guellala stands out as the traditional capital of Djerbian pottery, an activity dating back thousands of years. Local clays, rich and varied, have been exploited since ancient times to shape massive containers – jealous of olive oil, cereals, or water. The workshops, often semi-buried, reveal ancestral gestures: manual turning, natural drying, and slow cooking in palm-fed kilns. The village is also home to an ethnographic museum featuring crafts, traditional life and iconic pieces, including the legendary “magic camel” and monumental jars. Between yesterday and today, Guellala lives to the rhythm of ancestral know-how, offering visitors a vibrant immersion in an authentic and living heritage.
