As autumn arrives in southern Tunisia, something special begins to happen in the oases of Douz: it’s date harvest season. Beneath the tall palms, golden clusters of Deglet Nour ripen in the sun. It’s the perfect time to experience another side of the desert — alive, generous, and deeply rooted in tradition. Douz, the Land of Deglet Nour Known as the “gateway to the Sahara,” Douz is more than just a starting point for desert adventures. It’s a thriving oasis where date farming has been practiced for generations. During the harvest, local families climb the palms, hand-pick ripe dates, and share their knowledge in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. More Than a Trip — an Experience With Touil Travel, you don’t just observe — you take part. The agency offers a truly immersive journey: Pick dates alongside local farmers.
