La randonnée
The final stage country of the Dahar trail: a ridge walk between the hilltop ksour of Douiret and Chenini.
Douiret and Chenini are ruined Berber hill villages south-west of Tataouine, each crowned by a fortified granary (ksar) above cave houses cut into the rock strata. The route climbs from the white mosque of Douiret onto the plateau, reaching about 600 m with wide views over the Dahar, then drops past the Mosque of the Seven Sleepers with its long legendary graves into Chenini. Along the way are olive groves, dry waterfalls, sulphurous rock bands and a spring.
