Douz & the Dunes — private tours

The gateway to the Sahara and its camel treks, where the tarmac stops and the erg begins.

Where the tarmac ends and the Grand Erg Oriental begins, which is why it is called the gate of the desert. The dunes start at the edge of town, so you are on sand within minutes rather than after an hour of driving. Camels go out from here in the late afternoon, when the light is worth having and the heat has gone. The Thursday market is a real regional market rather than a tourist one.

11 private tours reach Douz & the Dunes, the shortest 2 days / 1 night, from €324 per vehicle for the whole group. All depart from Hammamet with hotel pick-up, and the vehicle is yours alone — never shared, no fixed return time.
