Timia is a small town and commune in northern Niger, situated at an oasis in the Aïr Mountains, Agadez Region, Arlit Department. Visitors come to the Tuareg town to see a seasonal waterfall, a former French fort and the nearby ruined town of Assodé.[1] As of 2012, the commune had a total population of 19,076 people.[2][3]
Timia lies south of Iferouane and north of Agadez. The main town lies around 3 km from a stone guelta oasis, which holds water year round. It is also known for its fruit trees, an unusual sight in the Saharan regions of northern Niger.[4]
