All Douz Tours & Excursions in 2026

Leave the town behind and head deep into the Sahara on a full-day 4x4 expedition from Douz to Tembaine, the twin flat-topped mountains rising from the heart of the Grand Erg Oriental. The drive is part of the adventure: roughly three hours each way across rolling dunes and open desert, with photo stops along the route. At Tembaine, explore the fossil plains and the old desert well, climb the dunes for wide views across the erg, and try sandboarding on the soft slopes. The route runs around the Jbil area, where desert wildlife is sometimes seen. This is a long, remote day for travellers who want the deep Sahara without an overnight stay. Includes Douz hotel pickup and drop-off, 4x4 transport with a local driver-guide, and sandboarding.

Head into the Sahara on this 4x4 day trip from Douz to the Ksar Ghilane oasis. The adventure starts the moment you leave town, your driver-guide takes you across sand tracks and rolling dunes, with wide-open desert scenery and photo stops along the way. Arrive around 11 AM after roughly three hours, visit the Roman Fort of Tisavar near the oasis, then explore the green palm grove with its cafes and small restaurants. Swim in the natural thermal hot spring and enjoy free time to walk around. Lunch is not included, but you can eat at a local restaurant at your own expense. The return route keeps the adventure going, crossing the desert again as you leave Ksar Ghilane around 4 PM and reach Douz around 6 PM. Includes Douz pickup and drop-off, 4x4 transport and a local driver-guide.
