Location: Taghzout, on the Guemar road
The hotel stands in the El Charguia district of Taghzout, a municipality of El Oued province located north of the provincial capital, on the road to Guemar.
El Oued-Guemar airport, served by domestic flights, is only a few kilometres away, which is handy for a late arrival or an early departure. El Oued town centre is reached by car or taxi.
The Souf is known for its palm groves planted at the bottom of hollows dug into the sand, called "ghouts", and for its domed houses, which gave El Oued its nickname, the "city of a thousand domes". Nearby Guemar is known for its Tijaniyya zaouia.

Things to do around Palm Garden
From Taghzout it is easy to reach El Oued, with its markets and domed lanes, and Guemar with its zaouia. The palm groves of the Souf, famous for their deglet nour dates, are best visited in autumn and winter.
The dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental start at the edge of town: sunset walks, 4x4 trips and nights under canvas can be booked with local guides and agencies. Their programme and price are not included in the room rate.
Summers are very hot in the Souf: the best time to visit is from October to April. For visa and travel advice, check the official sources of your own country before you go.
Who is it for? Not to be confused with
Palm Garden suits travellers who want a quiet hotel near the airport, families thanks to the rooms for four, and business travellers in El Oued province who appreciate the free parking.
Not to be confused with the hotels of Taghazout, the surf resort near Agadir in Morocco, whose name sounds similar: Palm Garden is in Taghzout, in the Souf region of Algeria.
Winter school holidays and the end-of-year season are busy periods, so book early. To compare, see the other hotels in El Oued on Nreservi.
