LEARN MORE ABOUT DOUZ

DOUZ - THE GATEWAY TO THE SAHARA, AN OASIS OF HISTORY AND CULTURE

Located 250 km from Djerba, Douz , nicknamed the "Gateway to the Sahara", is an oasis renowned for its lush palm grove.

In the past, Douz enjoyed a strategic position, being the most important oasis in the region and an obligatory crossing point
for caravans transiting between the Algerian Sahara and Tunisia.

The Mrazigues, residents of Douz, are deeply connected to their Saharan environment. Sand, an omnipresent element, covers most of Douz's streets.

These dunes are home to the history and memories of their ancestors, a history that is revived every year during the Douz International Sahara Festival .

During these four days, the city comes alive, vibrant with folk dances, a craft fair, poetry competitions and activities on every street corner.

The weekly market in Douz, the largest in the region, attracts people from all walks of life for its spices, clothing
and its flours.

At the same time, the Thursday morning animal market brings together hundreds of men trading and selling goats, sheep and dromedaries.

The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with temperatures reaching 50° in summer.

The ideal time to visit Douz is between October and March, when the climate is mild but much cooler.

Douz is much more than just a “Gateway to the Sahara”.

It is a jewel of history and culture, a glimpse into nomadic life and a vibrant witness to the region's heritage.
