International Festival of the Sahara


The International Festival of the Sahara, held annually in Douz, Tunisia, celebrates Bedouin culture and desert traditions. Established in 1910 as the "Camel Festival" and reimagined in 1967, it is Tunisia's oldest festival.

Held at the end of December, the four-day event draws thousands of visitors and showcases the nomadic lifestyle. Key attractions include camel marathons, horse displays, Bedouin wedding reenactments, and sloughi dog races. Evenings feature performances from international groups, and a poetry contest led by desert poet Abdellatif Belgacem highlights oral traditions.

The festival is a major tourist draw, promoting the preservation of Sahara's unique heritage.
