Day 5: Douz/ Day of Adventures

The Sahara beyond Ksar GhilaineAfter Breakfast, and perhaps take a look around. Douz is considered to be "the door to the desert", and thus is a major market place for the nomads of the Sahara, coming from the outlying oases to sell their goods. On market days, Douz's maze of narrow streets is almost impenetrable for all the souks and bartering crowds. Quite a site to behold. Also, every December, for the entire month, Douz hosts the Festival of the Desert. This year's activities are sure to be special. Once again, exact details will be posted as soon as they become available.

The Adventure will continu, However, for those who can't resist the urge to explore, Camp Pansea offers a wide range of activities, ranging from balloon rides (which offer stunning aerial views of the camp and surrounding desert) to Carting  rides. Or you  can get to know more about the region in the camp's media library. Interestingly, this is where many scenes from The English Patient were filmed, and the library does have a copy of the film, as well as others (Casablanca, Star Wars) that were shot in the Tunisian desert. And lastly, there is always the natural, warm, clear water which bubbles up endlessly from the nearby underground spring. Daytime/nighttime temperatures vary widely in the Sahara, especially in the winter months, and this natural bath was a welcome, and soothing, surprise.
