Search Nouvelle Matmata hotels

The best area to stay in Nouvelle Matmata is within the town itself, particularly near the main square and the troglodyte dwellings.


Nouvelle Matmata is a small, compact town, and focusing on accommodation close to its central area ensures you're never far from the main attractions. The town is known for its unique troglodyte (cave) architecture, with many traditional homes and even some hotels built into the earth. The main square often features local markets and is a good reference point for navigating the town.


For couples seeking a truly unique and memorable experience, staying in a troglodyte hotel is highly recommended. These hotels offer a distinct cultural immersion, allowing you to experience the traditional Berber way of life within a comfortable setting. You'll find these unique stays dotted throughout the town, often offering quiet courtyards and traditional decor.


Solo travellers will also appreciate the convenience of staying centrally. It allows for easy exploration of the local area, including the famous Star Wars film sets located nearby.

The best time to visit Nouvelle Matmata is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant.


During these months, the temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for exploring the unique troglodyte dwellings and the surrounding desert landscape without the intense heat of summer or the cooler evenings of winter. This period also generally sees less rainfall.


Couples and solo travellers will find these seasons particularly enjoyable for sightseeing and outdoor activities like hiking or camel treks.
