### Traditional Family Home - Live Like a Local in Douz
Welcome to Akram's Childhood Home – Where Authentic Douz Comes Alive
This isn't just a vacation rental. This is the house where I, Akram, was born and raised in the heart of the Sahara oasis of Douz. Every wall holds memories of my childhood playing between sand dunes and palm trees, learning the secrets of the desert from my family.
Today, I live in Germany with my wife Karo, but my heart belongs to both worlds. After my family moved to a new home, we couldn't let this special place sit empty. Our dream? Transform it into a meeting point for open-minded travelers from around the globe – a place where cultures connect and authentic experiences happen.
Why This House is Special
This is a real Tunisian family home with soul and history – not a perfectly renovated tourist property. We've kept its authentic character while making it clean, comfortable, and welcoming. It's perfect for travelers who value authenticity over luxury and want to experience how locals truly live in Douz.
The Space
2 bedrooms (1 large with 4 beds, 1 small with 2-3 beds)
1 bathroom + separate toilet
Fully equipped kitchen for self-catering
Traditional decor with modern cleanliness
Quiet location in the oasis, 10 minutes walk to town center
