Timimi, At Timimi (Arabic: التميمي) or Tmimi, is a small village in northeastern Libya about 75 km east of Derna and 100 km west of Tobruk.

It is on the eastern shores of the Libyan coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

Due to its underground water being salty, Timimi was always a place of little importance, and its population in 2006 was 4,667.

[2][3] The settlement at Timimi was known in antiquity as Paliurus (Ancient Greek: Παλίουρος, Palíouros) after its nearby river, in turn named after the plants growing within its marshes.

[4] Its name was changed following its conquest by the early Muslim Caliphate in AD 642.
