Hoggar Mountains- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Algeria; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 6 hours

The Hoggar Mountains, also known as the Ahaggar Mountains, in southern Algeria, are a stunning blend of natural beauty, geological wonders, and cultural history. Spanning the central Sahara, this rugged highland region is characterized by dramatic volcanic peaks, weathered rock formations, and ancient erosion-carved landscapes. At its summit stands Mount Tahat, the highest peak in Algeria at 2,908 meters. The region's unique biodiversity thrives in its relatively moderate desert climate, home to rare species like the Northwest African cheetah and desert-adapted flora. Rich in cultural significance, it is the historic homeland of the Tuareg people and a site of prehistoric rock art dating back to 6,000 BC. The Assekrem plateau, home to a hermitage founded by Charles de Foucauld, offers panoramic views that attract travelers seeking both adventure and a connection to Algeria's storied past.

Worth the trek for one night to see sunset. Wrap up warm as desert can reach zero degrees at night. You would know this if you have reached this far.

These mountains are serene and somehow mystical. They seem to be alive as their colors change throughout the day. I'd definitely return here once again.
