Imagine a treasure hunt like no other, where each clue is a pixelated work of art affixed to the whitewashed walls of the Island of the Lotus-Eaters. Welcome to Djerba, a jewel of southern Tunisia, constantly enchanting travelers with its golden beaches, vibrant souks, Berber villages… and now, its futuristic urban art. Since 2019, French artist Invader, renowned for his retro video game-inspired creations, has carried out a true « invasion » on the island of Djerba.
🚀 An Artistic and Immersive Adventure: The Djerba Invader Hunt
Over 50 mosaics by Invader have been installed across the island—from Houmt Souk to Midoun, through Erriadh, Borj El Kastil, and even the most remote beaches. Each tile tells a story, each wall becomes an open-air gallery. And this isn’t just a walk: it’s an experience. An artistic quest, a real-life treasure hunt, perfect for street art lovers, geek culture fans, photography enthusiasts, or families looking for a unique adventure.
⚠️ Sadly, some mosaics have disappeared over time due to renovations or deterioration, adding even more mystery to this one-of-a-kind journey!
