Résidence Tin Habib, also listed as Hotel Tin Habib, is a small hotel in the centre of Timimoun, the "red oasis" of the Gourara region in the Algerian Sahara. With air-conditioned rooms for two to four guests, each with a private bathroom, a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and parking, it is a simple, practical base for exploring the town on foot and heading out to the dunes and the old ksour. The best season runs from October to March, when days are mild and nights are cool.

Location: in the centre of Timimoun

The residence is in the centre of Timimoun, capital of the wilaya of the same name. The shopping streets and the old town built of ochre earth are easy to explore on foot from the hotel.

Timimoun airport is served by domestic flights, mainly from Algiers; the transfer to the hotel is by taxi or car. Ask our team to confirm the access details before you travel.

Timimoun is known for its red-earth houses and walls, its foggaras, the underground channels that bring water to the gardens, and the large sebkha (salt flat) that stretches below the town, facing the dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental.

Rooms, restaurant and services

All rooms are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom. There are double or twin rooms, triple rooms and family rooms for four, handy for parents travelling with two children.

The residence has a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk, Wi-Fi and parking. There is no swimming pool.

Breakfast or half board may be included depending on the rate you choose; this is shown on each offer before you book. Check-in and check-out times are given on your voucher.

Things to do nearby

From central Timimoun it is easy to explore the palm grove and its gardens watered by foggaras, the ksour of the Gourara, and the viewpoints over the sebkha at sunset.

4x4 trips into the dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental, camel rides and visits to the ksour are booked with local guides and agencies. Their programme and price are not included in the room rate.

The music of the region, such as the Ahellil of Gourara, listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, is part of Timimoun's identity.

Who is it for? Not to be confused with

Résidence Tin Habib suits travellers who want to stay in the town centre, close to shops and restaurants, families thanks to the rooms for four, and small groups heading out on day trips.

It should not be confused with Ferme Habib Résidence, another property in our catalogue, located in Ghardaïa in the M'Zab valley, several hundred kilometres from Timimoun.

High season runs from October to March, peaking during school holidays and the end-of-year festivities, so book early. To compare with other places to stay in the oasis, see our Hotels in Timimoun page.
