  2. Tej el-Khayem

    Whether you eat indoors, in a Berber style tent or out on the sand, Tej el-Khayem serves up some of the best meals in Douz. The à la carte menu includes all the standards but if you order in advance and/or are part of a large group you can experiment with camel (around TD12) or try the coucha agneau - a local speciality of meat cooked underground in gargoulette (pottery). Wine and beer are served and dancing and performances can be arranged in advance.

  3. Tozeur Market

    Handy for a snack and very much a part of the Tozeur experience are the dates available in the market. The best dates are harvested in October, but you'll usually find something on offer throughout summer. For reasonable quality, expect to pay around TD3.5 per kilogram, although the best method is to taste before you buy.

  4. Centre d'Animation Bedouin

    This place, just past the Hotel Sahara Douz near Tej el-Khayem also offers the chance to eat in a Berber tent, though one done up for tourists, and puts on 'traditional dance' shows, though it's generally only used for large groups who book in advance.

  5. Restaurant Le Soleil

    An extensive menu with a couple of vegetarian dishes. The service is attentive and it's a good place to try camel steak because you generally don't have to pre-order it as in other restaurants. They also do pizzas and sandwiches.

  6. Restaurant Capitole

    This small place is popular with Tunisian families but the service is slow and it's worth it to pre-order especially for the metabgha (Berber pizza; around TD3, pre-order only). Camel steak is also on the menu.

  7. Restaurant-Bar Le Petit Prince

    Dining under the palms, sipping a fine wine while listening to music is a special experience. This restaurant is tucked in behind a wall a short walk past the arch and serves quality French and Tunisian cuisine.

  8. Restaurant Ali Baba

    It's a little derelict looking and the backyard garden is cramped, still this traveller-friendly place about 100m north of the roundabout, is a pleasant place for a quiet evening.

  9. Restaurant Les Andalous

    Overlooking the garden of the Hôtel du Jardin, this restaurant has high-end trappings and a better-than-average menu and, at least as important, wine and alcohol are served.
