Most visitors to Timimoun come for the landscape rather than for individual sights: the rust-red town set above the sebkha, the palm groves below, and the surrounding ksour (fortified villages) of the Gourara region. A few specific places — the old ksar, the Hotel Saoura's terrace at sunset, the sebkha viewpoint — are worth seeking out, but the experience is mostly slow walking through the alleyways and out into the surrounding country with a local guide.
