Tunisia is a demographic miracle: the only place in the Arab world where a native Jewish population is actively growing. Against a regional tide of disappearance, the families of Djerba have maintained a 2,500-year continuity where the rhythm of life is still dictated by the ancient priestly cycles of the Temple. This journey offers a front-row seat to a civilization that isn't just surviving, but expanding.

Select Tunisia Highlights

You will walk a 2,500-year timeline that begins at El Ghriba — the world's oldest active synagogue, founded by exiles who brought a stone from Solomon's First Temple — and leads to the Grand Synagogue of Tunis, the majestic seat of the elite Livornese merchant class.

From the "Hara Sghira" neighborhood, home to the world’s longest uninterrupted lineage of Cohanim (High Priests), to the last Jewish homes where Judeo-Arabic is still the native language, this is a literal encounter with a civilization that has refused to fade.

You will meet the final guardians of this North African legacy, from the Chief Rabbi to the traditional silversmiths, witnessing the daily life of a community that isn't just surviving, but thriving as the last vibrant chapter of an ancient story.
