Tassili of Hoggar, Desert plateau in southern Algeria
The Tassili of Hoggar extends over 700 kilometers in a horseshoe shape, featuring sandstone formations emerging from sand dunes and volcanic peaks.
The geological structures of the plateau date back over 3 billion years, containing archaeological remains from periods reaching 600,000 years into the past.
The Kel Ahaggar Tuareg people maintain their traditional nomadic lifestyle in the region, moving through the area with their herds across the seasons.
The city of Tamanrasset, located 2,000 kilometers from Algiers, serves as the main access point to explore the Tassili of Hoggar with its international airport.
The Assekrem plateau at 2,728 meters offers views of the Tahat dome at 2,918 meters and the Ilamane peak at 2,760 meters with their basalt columns.
