| Page Views: 1,150 Last Visit to El Golea: April, 1988 I Visit Here Frequently | El Goléa, the 300,000 palm trees oasis by JLBG - last update: Mar 5, 2007 |
El-Goléa, a city of 28,000 inhabitants (2005), is 270 km south to Ghardaïa, the capital of the Wilaya. It appears on road signs either as El-Goléa or as El-Minieh. Both names mean “the fortress”. |
|  | El-Goléa is made of three parts :
- the ksar (fort) on top of an isolated rock,
- the village and
- the oasis, a palm trees grove. It is sometimes called the three hundred thousands palm trees oasis.
It is the last main city before Tamanrasset, 900 km south, as the crow flies.
In Tamanrasset, houses and walls are ochre, in Timimoun, they are red, in the M’zab, they are painted in blue. In El Goléa, they are painted white. |

A very interesting page on El Golea with its huge oasis and those nearby 'mesas'! Your Land Rover looks very nice and well-prepared for the trip. It seems I've some catching up to do on your pages! |
