Tunisia
The island is Djerba, or Jarbah, named in ancient trading by Phoenicians and Romans as Meninx. It lies in the Gulf of Gabès and is the largest island of North Africa. It has been much in demand, having been occupied, taken and/or ruled by numerous interests including Phoenicians, Romans, Ibadi Muslims, Christians of Sicily and Aragon, the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, Barbary pirates, the Ottoman Empire, Spain, and France.
