		Once in Douz, we asked our taxi driver to take us to the Great Dune, a lone, towering peak near the town's upscale tourist hotels (the proximity is convenient, guidebooks note, citing theories involving bulldozers).
		A final outpost before the Grand Erg Oriental -- a basin of sand about the size of Arizona -- Douz is the central oasis for the Mrazig, traditionally camel-raising nomads who divide their year between animal herding in the desert and date-harvesting in town.
		In Douz, a standout in the town center is Restaurant Les Palmiers, serving exceptionally fresh lamb and vegetable couscous.

		Douz, one of the many towns that claims it's the gateway to the Sahara.
		It is certainly the start of the Sahara, but I think some smaller villages that are a bit farther out into the dunes would be better contenders for gateway to the Sahara.
		In spite of this, Douz is a very chill town.

	Douz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Douz or Dūz (Arabic: دوز‎) is a town in central Tunisia, known as the "gateway to the Sahara." In previous times it was an important stop on the trans-Saharan caravan routes.
		The festival, usually held in November or December, features traditional music and dancing, poetry readings, camel wrestling, and racing of horses and salugis (a type of dog, similar to a greyhound, native to the North African desert.)
		Douz is home to the Museum of the Sahara, which showcases displays on traditional nomadic desert culture of the Mrazig people who now mostly live a settled life in the town.

		Depuis Douz a ouvert ses portes, pas seulement la porte du désert, mais aussi celles vers le reste de la Tunisie et vers le monde entier.
		Douz n'a rien de particulier en soi si ce n'est cette culture, cette richesse, cette sagesse, qui font que celui qui prend le temps de s'attarder un peu dans cette ville en ressort forcément "différent".
		Entre Tozeur et Douz, nous passons du monde des sédentaires berbères à celui des nomades bédouins, hommes libres du désert.

	Middle East - Tunisia - Douz
		Douz, the largest of the oases in western Tunisia, is just like Tozeur arranged according to the needs of middle class tourists from Europe.
		Most of the week, Douz is a sleepy spot, where carpets and camel rides are pushed vigorously, but it comes radically alive with the Thursday market.
		This market is genuine enough, with livestock as the principal merchandise, but the atmosphere is destroyed by too many tourists (of which you are one) coming to see, looking for a couple of hours of Bedouin life, and some snap shots.

		In Douz, I could help but to marvel at the mastery of double-speak of some government bureaucrat – the United States has not cornered the market on this: The popular name around the country for new roads is "Boulevard of the Environment." Douz is not the first place that I had seen it.
		But in the case of Douz it is the new road that paves desert and heads off to the horizon.
		Douz comes in three parts: the old town, the oasis and the tourist zone.

	Douz, Tunisia
		Thursday is a busy market day, and at the end of December there is a Saharan festival, with dromedary and horse races, a representation of a traditional wedding ceremony and performances of music and dancing.
		Hitherto Douz has been little affected by the tourist trade, but a huge new tourist complex covering an area of 45 hectares/110 acres, with between 5,000 and 7,000 beds, is now in course of construction.
		In addition to the positive results in the way of providing employment and bringing in foreign currency which are expected from a development of this kind there are likely also to be negative consequences - particularly conflicts over the distribution of the precious water supply and damage to the environment.
