Hotel Arischa – Djerba : Accommodation

The hotel occupies the buildings of an old caravanserai dating back more than three centuries. Fondouks or caravanserais existed since the ninth century and their construction lasted until the nineteenth century. Located along the ancient caravan routes, especially along the ancient Silk Road, these establishments have hosted, during centuries, traveling merchants and their mounts.
Caravanserai were built around a patio. The animals were installed at ground floor while the travelers were settled in the rooms called ghorfas on the first floor. For long, the island of Djerba has indeed been a place of trade in the Mediterranean area. Traveling merchants went on the island through the Trik el Jemal, a caravan road that connected the island to the mainland.

The Arischa has since been converted into a boutique hotel, with preserved authentic architecture: the ghorfas are a relatively open space, where alcove room and ensuite communicates, favoring the intimacy of couples. Very nice decor mixes traditional Djerbian crafts, and paintings of modern artists. The heavy wooden doors are original, as the patio in the center of which is a great basin, where a refreshing dip is possible (however it is not a modern swimming pool). The ancient doors use an amazing closing system without locks, but as struts or spars, very solid wooden closures rods, who go to stick in a hole in the adjoining wall.
