La Gazelle d'Or Resort & Spa
El Oued, Algeria · Independent · Accessible Luxury
El Oued is nicknamed the City of a Thousand Domes, and La Gazelle d'Or spreads that Saharan stone-and-plaster language across a privately planted palm grove of tens of thousands of date palms off the N16. Palatial standalone villas sit under signature domed roofs. A hammam and thermal spa are fed by subterranean desert springs, and an 18-hole golf course is graded into the sand. This is one of the few palatial desert compounds in Algeria's Grand Erg Oriental.

About La Gazelle d'Or Resort & Spa
- El Oued's vernacular nickname, the City of a Thousand Domes, comes from the hemispherical roofs of its traditional Saharan houses; the resort copies that plaster-and-stone dome language across villas and cottages.
- The compound sits on the N16 toward Touggourt, about 7 km from El Oued's centre, inside a privately cultivated palm grove counted in the tens of thousands of date palms.
- A hammam and thermal spa draw on subterranean desert springs, and an 18-hole golf course is engineered into the surrounding sand.
