People go early to bed, and wake up early. If you intend to move in the city during the night, ask your hosts where you can go or not. In a more general manner, the places close to the oueds are not safe after 8-9PM. If you don't go with a local or someone familiar with the city, you should probably keep cool at your hotel/home and drink the traditional tea with your friends, or go in a café close to the place you will go back. Usually shops and café close not later than 10:30PM. Causes for this insecurity is an uncontrolled immigration from the southern countries and some unsolved social issues in the city. In a more general view, it is easy to go and feel safe in Tam, in particular if you know someone locally, by the way, Tamanrasset is a military zone!

 If you have to buy something you will have to do it in Tamanrasset or in Djanet, you can go to the market or to the shops all around the city.
