Magic of the Tadrart : Travel in the Algerian Desert

Trek and discovery of engravings and rock paintings.

Throughout this superb trek the travel agency in Djanet will lead you to a discovery of the Algerian Desert.
On this desert voyage you will discover the red dunes of the Tadrart, which offers to the visitor some of the most fantastic landscapes in the Sahara.

The Tadrart can be found to the southeast of Djanet, capital of the Tassili N’ajjer and at the edge of the Libyan border (a few hours by 4x4).

This will be a continuous spectacle of a mix of rocks and colored sand sparkling with red tints.
