Salamat Region, Administrative region in southeastern Chad.
The Salamat region spans across flat savannah terrain, bordering Sila Region in the north and the Central African Republic in the southeast.
The French Foreign Legion upgraded Am Timan's sand airport in 1971 to enable military supply transportation during regional operations.
The regional capital Am Timan, whose name translates to 'mother of twins' in Arabic, hosts regular market days that bring communities together.
The region experiences a seven-month dry season, requiring residents to access deep aquifers for water supply throughout this period.
The Bahr Salamat river transforms during rainy seasons into a natural swimming area where local children gather for recreation.
