Djanet, Oasis city in southeastern Algeria.
Djanet stands at an elevation of 1035 meters, surrounded by the Tassili n'Ajjer mountain range and Erg Admer sand formations.
The settlement traces its origins to medieval Tuareg founders, with Ottoman forces establishing control during the early twentieth century European colonial period.
The Kel Ajjer Tuareg people maintain their traditions through basket weaving, pottery making, and regular market exchanges in the city center.
Visitors can reach Djanet through domestic flights at Inedbirene Airport, located 30 kilometers south of the city center.
The intermittent river Oued Idjeriou carves through the valley, creating conditions for palm groves despite the desert environment.
