In the heart of the Timimoun oasis, in Ksar Lichta, La Table de Nadia – Wafi Oasis invites travellers to enjoy an authentic culinary experience in peaceful surroundings, among palm trees and inspired by the Gourara way of life.
Part of Wafi Company, a family group specialising in accommodation, traditional dining, and tourism experiences in Timimoun, La Table de Nadia offers a different approach to dining: a welcoming table d’hôtes where local cuisine, fresh produce, simplicity, and well-being come together.
Located in Ksar Lichta, Timimoun, it also serves as a dedicated dining venue for the Dar El Hakim and Dar El Wafi guesthouses.
The appeal of La Table de Nadia – Wafi Oasis lies as much in its surroundings as in its cuisine.
Set in the heart of the oasis, it offers a peaceful escape from the bustle, in a natural setting where palm trees and the Saharan atmosphere are an integral part of the experience.
Here, a meal becomes a moment of relaxation and connection. The idea is to take time to discover local flavours while enjoying the tranquillity of the oasis.
This philosophy fully reflects the Slow Hospitality approach developed by Wafi Company: travelling at your own pace and taking time to meet people, taste local food, and understand the region you are exploring.
At La Table de Nadia, the cuisine celebrates fresh produce and the local flavours of Gourara.
The menu draws on the region’s culinary richness while offering a simple, balanced, and generous approach.
Travellers can enjoy flavourful grilled dishes alongside healthy and vegetarian options, catering to different tastes while maintaining a strong connection to the region.
This approach complements Wafi Restauration Traditionnelle, which focuses more closely on the ancestral recipes of the Sahara and Gourara.
