The story

Timimoun New Year Desert Festival in Timimoun

A December-to-January desert festival in Timimoun's Red Oasis, timed to the calendar year transition and Sahara's cooler travel season, offering camel treks, folklore performances and craft markets as part of a dense winter cluster of related named events staged in the same UNESCO-recognized desert town.

Timimoun's Red Oasis stages a cluster of distinct winter events across December and January, and this New Year desert festival occupies its own place within that busy seasonal calendar alongside the separately organized International Saharan Tourism Festival and the Ahellil of Gourara festival, both of which draw on related but distinguishable elements of the same regional desert heritage.
