Adrar (Arabic: أدرار‎) is a town in Algeria, based around an oasis of the Sahara Desert and the administrative capital of the second largest province (Wilaya) in Algeria, that carries its name.

Adrar is mainly an agricultural town, characterized by its traditional irrigation system, the Fouggara.

The oasis itself is considered beautiful and includes also historic monuments. The settlement in the region (formerly known as Tuat) is quite ancient and the area provides for several different cultures. This intermingling gave birth to a body of traditions and of cultural and hand-crafted practices that are still present today in the life of its inhabitants translating into a wealth of the folklore and cultural heritage.

The city is served by an airport located 3 kilometers away from the city. Air Algerie flies to Algiers, Bordj Badj Mokhtar, Oran and Ouargla and Tassili Airlines flies to In Amenas.
