Experience the Magic of Date Harvest Season in Douz with Touil Travel

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. Learn traditional harvesting and sorting techniques. Taste fresh dates, still warm from the sun. And that’s just the beginning. The Desert, Up Close and Real After the harvest, the desert calls. Touil Travel takes you beyond the oasis — by camel or 4x4 — into the sweeping dunes of the Eastern Erg. Spend the night under the stars, sip mint tea by the fire, and take in the vast, silent beauty of the Sahara. What’s on the Plate?
