Algeria: Assekrem and Tadrart Akakus
Duration
12 days
Overview
-
According to a Tuareg saying, "God created the desert so that men could find their soul". Saharan dream par excellence, the Algerian south has everything to fascinate even the most experienced traveler, among spectacular sand dunes and sandstone towers eroded in bizarre and spectacular shapes.
An unusual Sahara, of mountains eroded and sedimented for millennia, lava flows and basalt cliffs that nature has shaped into real works of art. Discovering the hermitage of Father Foucauld in the mountains of the Hoggar, the volcanic region on which the Assekrem plateau stands out, "the end of the world" in the Tamacheq language. From the sleepy towns of Tamanrasset and Djanet, to the Tadart Akakus, where you can admire the "fairy chimneys" of Moul N'Aga, the red dunes of Tin Merzouga and the exceptional paintings and rock engravings hidden among the ravines of the rocky gorges of the Oued by In Djaren. An itinerary suspended in time that will give emotions.
