Dougaj is a region and town situated in the south of Western Sahara of Africa approximately midway between the Agwanit region and the Moroccan Wall, 119 km from Fderik, Mauritania.
Dougaj is located in the part of Western Sahara controlled by the Polisario Front and often referred to as the Free Zone or Liberated Territories.[2] It is the head of the 6th military region of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and holds an SPLA military outpost.
