The sebkha
Below the town lies a wide salt basin, a large pale shape that fills part of the map and emphasises the oasis perched on the escarpment above it.

The map
About this Timimoun map poster
Timimoun lies in the Gourara region of the Algerian Sahara, on the edge of the Grand Erg Occidental. The town sits on a low escarpment overlooking a wide sebkha, a salt basin, with palm gardens spread along the slope below. On a map, the compact town, the irregular ribbon of gardens and the pale flat basin form three clearly separate zones.
Timimoun is often called the red oasis because of its ochre earth architecture, including buildings in a distinctive Sudanese-influenced style. The palm groves are watered by foggaras, underground channels that carry water from the plateau down to the gardens, an ancient system still in use and one of the best-known features of the Gourara oases.
A Timimoun map poster brings settlement and desert together in a single frame: the tight street pattern of the town, the finely divided garden plots below it, the broad emptiness of the sebkha and the desert beyond. It is an image of how life gathers around water in the Sahara, reduced to a few precise lines.

Compact old town
The historic town forms a dense cluster of narrow streets and earthen buildings, clearly bounded against the open desert around it.
