Jamaa Ettruk Mosque, also called the "Turkish mosque", is the third of the three famous mosques in Djerba. It is intended for adherents of Sufism, perhaps the most interesting direction in Islam, which arose in the 8th century. Sufis preached asceticism, combined faith and mysticism and strove for higher knowledge.
