Walking here means picking a few areas where on-foot exploring pays off, and using a taxi to move between them. Distances between the areas run to roughly 15 to 22 km, which is too far to walk. Midoun market streets The best walk in town itself is through the central market streets on market day. https://mad-traveller.com/posts/sightseeing-around-midoun/?v=1 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 14:51:19 +0000 https://mad-traveller.com/posts/sightseeing-around-midoun/?v=1 Midoun is a market town on the east side of Djerba Island, and most of the island’s sights lie within a taxi ride of it.
