Travel Guide Du Du

South of Tamanrasset, on the route of In-Guezzam on the border of Niger, the Tassili of Hoggar is a very large collapsed sandstone plateau which formed part of the shores of a former Oued, 250 km long in the southern tip of Algeria between the borders of Niger and Mali, where erosion has carved in sandstone and phantasmagoric forms enhanced shapes and shapes. by gentle dunes of truly golden sand at their feet and by engravings and paintings outlined on the walls of castles, needles, tables, mushrooms, balls, towers or sandstone animals… Every hour, light plays the invisible operators by changing the decor, highlighting deep shadows. Monsters of our infant nightmares, castle of a beautiful or djinn, divines or hellfire organs, pastry plates that seem to be able to crumble under the footsteps of a camel or characters who defy eternity or the distant horizon, the rock blocks tickle our imagination and lend themselves to all interpretations.In the 1970 s, while the drought was ruthless, the nomads left the Tassili of Hoggar, a rocky plateau without water, without wells and therefore too dry. Only a few tracks remained followed by smugglers or illegals who were not at risk of being discovered.We descend to the Tassili by the paved road that we leave on the left to follow the Igharghar Oued to Tagrera, a meeting of rocky pitons and dunes. Later, after the «two camels», camping is often sheltered from Tin Akacheker, which evokes a fortress dotted with watchtower. Then direction the immense flat plain of the Tin Tarabine Oued, where you can find the tiles decorated with cave engravings and texts in Tifinagh De. Then Tahaggart, another rocky fortress perched on a dune, or the well-protected oued in the Tin Eggoleh massif. Youf Ahakit, a fabulous site whose name means "better than a house" is appreciated for the night.To the south, the In-Ebeggui Oued traces its path to the bottom of a deep canyon. Some agencies offer excursions to Abalemma to the south and Sullan which means "softly".On the other side of the Niger Road, the western part of the Hoggar du Hoggar (Tim Missaw a water point in the center, Tin Rerhoh to the southwest and the Oua Oau N'rechla) is less visited because more difficult access. This is the favorite of the guides that reserve it perhaps…
