    Douiret is a ruined Berber village in the Tataouine Governorate in southern Tunisia. Located on a hilltop near a modern village of the same name, Douiret was a fortified granary, or ksar, like other ksour created by North African Berber communities.
    The site is one of the elements included in the UNESCO Tentative List for World Heritage designation, Cave dwelling and the world of ksour in southern Tunisia.
