| On our drive from Matmata to Douz, we drove past sheep and goats idling away the time during the midday heat. Here, in southern Tunisia, we�d often see herds of dromedaries (one-humped camels) unattended on the open ranges. Our arrival in Douz marked the most southern point on our tour; it also was one of the main access points into the Sahara Desert. After Douz, we drove to our hotel in the village of Souk Lahad. |

| Monday morning we continued our journey west. Early on, our route took us by some beautiful wind-sculpted dunes; the sand of these dunes was incredibly fine. Along this part of our drive, we often saw thatched fences put up as barriers to help contain the fine sand. |
