Douz: Glamping Under the Tunisian Stars3 min read

Glamping connects you with the land on a personal level without having to rough it, and brings tourism out of the cities and into Tunisia’s wilderness.

Douz is one of the most exciting places in Tunisia. The town acts as a curtain for the wonders just to the south of the country.

Driving through the compact, narrow streets of the centre, you’ll wonder what all the hype is about. Why journey to this remote outpost which appears abandoned during the intense midday summer heat?

But as the sun sets and the streets cool, Douz comes alive – the cafes around the central Souk fill up and as you pass through the intervening palmeraie (palm grove), the sight of the Grand Erg Oriental reveals its magical self, a seeming mirage until you set foot on its sandy shore.

Aside from putting the idea of experience-based travel into action, glamping allows for the following: connection with the Tunisian land on an up-close-and-personal level without having to “rough it,” and bringing tourism out of the coastal cities and into the expansive wilderness that makes up a large portion of the country.
