Helpfulness
Douz was quiet in the evenings and after we had finished our dinner there was little left to do in the town. We couldn't find any place serving alcohol in the old town, while all the cafes were the typical men-only type of Tunisian cafes which you see all over the country. It may have been quiet because it was a Monday or maybe because it was March and there were few tourists around or perhaps it's just always quiet in Douz. This suited me fine as the less alcohol I drank, the better I slept and hence I could wake earlier and see more during the days. After our meal we returned to the terrace in out hotel, where we would read or plan what to see the following day. A French couple were there too though they had managed to buy a bottle of wine somewhere. So you can get alcohol in Douz, provided you know where to go.
