Dar Agham Akbou, photo 1

Dar Agham Akbou is a small traditional hotel on Rue Emir Abdelkader, right in the centre of Timimoun, in the Gourara region of the Algerian Sahara. With single and double rooms, a terrace and breakfast, it is a practical base for exploring the "red oasis" on foot before heading out to the ksour and the dunes. The best season runs from October to March.

Location: Rue Emir Abdelkader, central Timimoun

Dar Agham Akbou is on Rue Emir Abdelkader in the centre of Timimoun, close to the town's shops and restaurants. Timimoun airport (TMX) is a few kilometres away, roughly a quarter of an hour by road.

Timimoun, the "red oasis", owes its nickname to the ochre colour of its earth buildings. Below the town lie the palm grove and its gardens watered by foggaras (underground water channels), then the sebkha, or salt flat, and the first dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental.

Rooms, terrace and breakfast

The hotel offers double rooms with two beds and single rooms, decorated in the local style. A terrace lets you enjoy the evening light over the oasis.

A continental breakfast is served in the morning and Wi-Fi is available. Reception is staffed around the clock; check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is until noon.

For lunch and dinner, the town-centre restaurants are close by. The meal plan included (breakfast or other) is shown on each offer before you book.

Things to do around Timimoun, and getting there

From the centre you can walk down to the palm grove and its foggaras. With a local guide and a vehicle, you can tour the sebkha and the ksour (fortified villages) of the Gourara, then reach the dunes for sunset.

4x4 outings and camel rides are arranged locally with Timimoun guides; they are not included in the room rate. In winter, bring warm clothes for evenings in the desert.

You reach Timimoun by air through Timimoun airport (TMX), served by domestic flights, notably from Algiers, or by road from Adrar or El Menia.
