Here, you can listen to a nomadic Berber tribesman cooking his meal deep in the Sahara Desert alongside his camel, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in the Berber way of life. For centuries, Douz has been a meeting place for nomadic M’razig Berber tribesmen.

Today, it is renowned for its dates and palm wine. This specific region of the desert played a pivotal role as a stop on the trans-Saharan caravan routes, offering valuable insights into the serene appeal of the desert.
