Introducing Douz
Douz, an oasis at the edge of the Grand Erg Oriental, is best for its tours into the desert. The dunes are tall and smooth, fulfilling all fantasies of the mysterious and silent desert space. The town itself is not too exciting, with a busy central square, and fruit and carpets on sale. At its edge is an enormous palmeraie, where more than 400,000 trees slice into the fierce sunlight. As soon as you enter, you’ll be accosted by desert-expedition touts. Make sure you get a professional guide from the tourist office, as unofficial guides are unreliable.
