Dominating a sabkha, a huge disappeared salt lake whose memory persists in the name of the surrounding villages, Timimoun is the oasis most representative of the Zenete, a region rich in colour and contrasts, located south of the Great Erg Occidental and to the north-west of the Tademaït plateau. A former black slave market from Mali and Niger, before slavery was abolished in Algeria in 1912, the city underwent its most important development after French captain Anthénour had built the Sudan's door at the beginning of the twentieth century, the siege of the daira, the mosque and the hotel. Many native Timimoun have a very dark skin, a legacy of their haratins ancestors, slaves from Equatorial Africa.
