Tassili n'Ajjer
THE POWER OF IMAGES
The Tassili Plateau, which stretches across the southern border between Algeria and Libya, holds among its rocks one of the most important open-air museums of Saharan rock art. Under natural shelters and ravines, there are depicted mouflons, gazelles, giraffes, rhinos, human figures, fantastic and mysterious beings, shamans, herds of bovids, hunter archers, women with elaborate hair, and scenes of family life…a plunge into the past thousands and thousands of years ago.
- INFODuration: 10 days
Minimum number of participants: 6It all starts in Djanet, the pearl of the Tassili, an ancient Tuareg agglomeration that is a veritable gateway to the Ajjer plateau
Following a centuries-old mountain trail in about three and a half hours, we reach its summit and, in six actual days of walking (with possible extensions), visit the most important rock sites, such as Tamrit, Tan Zoumaitak, In Itinen, In Etuami, Tin Aboteka, Tin Tazarift, Sefar, Tin Kani, Ozeanere, Aouenrhet, and Jabbaren.
The group is accompanied by an experienced Tuareg guide and a caravan of donkeys to transport camping materials, provisions, water and luggage. Back down in Djanet, we continue the journey by off-road vehicle to skirt the base of the huge ramparts holding up the plateau and to reach the sandstones of Terarart with its famous graffitied crying cows and the grandiose dunes of Erg d’Admer, where this exceptional journey into prehistory, an authentic Algerian jewel, will end.
