Arrival and handover
You choose when you book: we bring the car to where you are, or you collect it from the partner agency. Both options are already included in the price shown.
Delivered to your address
Delivery to the hotel is the norm in Aghir: the properties are spread along the coast road, far from any rental desk.
Collect at the agency
Collecting at an agency means a detour through Houmt Souk or Midoun; on this coast, delivery is almost always simpler.
Bring to the handover: a valid driving licence and an ID document. Payment is made on the spot.
- From Djerba-Zarzis Airport
- 30km
- Drive time
- 35min
- Two routes from the airport: north via Houmt Souk, or south via the causeway road. The second is shorter and quieter.
- The south-east coast has no regular public transport: a car is the only practical way out of it.
Taking the road
- The coast road is the only route here: a wrong turn costs a few kilometres, as there is no grid of parallel streets.
- Public beaches have packed-sand car parks; in wet weather, stay on the tarmac shoulder.
- This is the natural starting point for the mainland via the El Kantara causeway, always open, and then Matmata or Tataouine.
- The nearest filling station is on the Midoun road: there is none along the southern stretch of the coast.

Exploring Aghir
Aghir occupies Djerba's south-eastern coast: a stretch of beaches quieter than those in the north, a few large hotels spaced well apart, and a distinctive early-morning light on this seaward-facing shore.
The quiet side of the island
This is the area you choose to avoid the density of the north-eastern resort strip. The trade-off is simple: everything is a little further away, and a car becomes genuinely useful. Midoun is a quarter of an hour off, Houmt Souk about thirty minutes, and the Roman causeway at El Kantara — the permanent link to the mainland — lies just south.
Practicalities
The coast road along this stretch is pleasant and lightly trafficked outside peak season. The Ras Taguermess lighthouse and the eastern point are minutes away. Plan to fill up in Midoun or Houmt Souk rather than relying on the immediate area, and bear in mind that shops are more scattered here than in the island's towns.
Returning the car
Fuel and toll prices in Tunisia- Most stays on this coast end at the airport: thirty-five minutes of driving, north or south.
- Take fuel in Midoun as you leave: there is no station between Aghir and the airport road.
