Dung beetle
by JLBG
Dung beetles can often be spotted in the desert. They carry with there back legs balls of dung left by sheeps or goats. Here, it was fallen in a cooking pot sold at the Douz market and could not get out alone which made easier to make the photo !
The desert of Sahara

The desert of Sahara is of exceptional beauty, especially in the first sunset. I felt it like a place where one can rich his own perfect body and mind harmony. There is nothing here I found it disturbing and I was completely relaxed after such a long time.
Desert Sunset
by barryg23
On our first night in Douz we went to the great Dune to try catch the sunset. We had been travelling all day and it was very tempting to go to our hotel and sleep but in the end we decided to make the effort and go to the Dune.
It was well worth it. We were approached by locals offering camel rides, dune buggy rides and so on. But that evening all we wanted to do was walk in the sand and see the sunset. The colours on the sand were beautiful and though we were only on the edge of the desert it still felt very special.
The Berbers
by croisbeauty
Tunisia's aborigines were the Berbers, about whom a great deal has been written but little is known. About 10.000 BC a dark-haired, brown-skinned people in and around Tunisia to interbreed with both Negroes from the Sahara and mysterious, blue-eyed, blond-heired immigrants from the north. They called themselves "Imazighen", Noble Ones, but the Romans called them Barbari and this name has unjustly stuck. The Berbers are, in my own experience, very proud and nice people, the only one in whole Tunisia who didn't ask to pay them a dinar when taking the picture.
