Gîte Agham Azegagh Timimoun: desert-edge lodge

Gîte Agham Azegagh is a small lodge in Timimoun, set in Ouled Nouh on the edge of town, where the desert begins. With rooms for one to four guests, a garden, a terrace and an on-site restaurant, it is a quiet base for a stay in the Gourara region of the Algerian Sahara, between palm grove, ksour and dunes. The best season runs from October to March.

Location: Ouled Nouh, on the edge of Timimoun

The lodge is in Ouled Nouh, on the outskirts of Timimoun: quiet and right by the desert, yet only a few minutes' drive from the centre. Timimoun airport (TMX) is about 7 km away.

Timimoun is called the "red oasis" after its ochre earth buildings. The town overlooks a palm grove fed by foggaras (underground water channels), then the sebkha, or salt flat, and the dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental.

Rooms, garden and meals

The lodge offers non-smoking rooms for one, two, three or four guests, convenient for families and small groups. The bathroom type is specified for each room before you book.

Breakfast or half board is included depending on the rate you choose: the meal plan is shown on each offer.

Things to do around Timimoun, and getting there

The lodge team can help arrange visits. The classics: the palm grove and its foggaras, the sebkha circuit with the ksour (fortified villages) of the Gourara, and a trip into the dunes at sunset, by 4x4 or camel.

Excursions are settled locally with the lodge or a local guide; they are not included in the room rate unless the offer says otherwise.
