The gate to the desert

by cadzand - last update: Dec 1, 2002

Wide white desert

Do you feel the Sahara ?
If you wait for a caravan passing by, Douz is the ideal spot. It is "the gate to the desert" represented by a huge key at the town entrance. Douz seems to be a sleepy town, which awakens at the thursday market, with real bedouin life.
The dunes at the fringe of the palmeraie make great impressions, and represents one of the few easy chances of seeing Sahara the way you imagined it.

This monument "the key to the desert" opens the gate to the wide Sahara

 Lovely photos from Douz, that looks like a nice place you stayed in, near the Dune. Douz was one of my fave sport in Tunisia, nice to read about it again.

 The yellowish color of the sky on some of your pictures show that you had the end (or the beginning ?) of a sand wind ! Quite often in Douz !
