Tindouf (Berber: Tinduf, ) is the main town in Tindouf Province, Algeria, close to the Mauritanian, Moroccan and Western Saharan borders. The region is considered of strategic significance, and it houses Algerian military bases. Since 1975, it also contains several Sahrawi refugee camps operated by the Polisario Front (see this article). There is an airport outside Tindouf, north-west of the town, with regular Air Algérie flights to Algiers and other cities. Within the municipal territory of Tindouf, there is Gara Djebilet, a settlement near the border with Mauritania with a iron mine and a defunct airport. It is approximately 70 kilometers northwest of Aet Legra.
