Where travelers stay — Touggourt

Touggourt, made an autonomous wilaya in 2019, is a former sultanate capital of southeastern Algeria, famous for its productive palm groves, old mud ksour and historic role as a caravan crossroads. Located 600 km southeast of Algiers between Biskra and Ouargla, it's one of the oldest oasis cities in the Algerian Sahara. Sidi Bouzid's ksar, traditional souks and millennial palm grove make it a cultural stop. The region is a major producer of Deglet Nour dates, harvested in late autumn in a festive atmosphere. For travelers exploring the eastern Sahara, Touggourt is an essential halt between Biskra and Ouargla.
