Tassili n'Ajjer National Park in southeastern Algeria is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its exceptional natural beauty, geological marvels, and cultural significance. Covering over 72,000 square kilometers of the Sahara Desert, this vast plateau features a dramatic sandstone landscape sculpted by millennia of erosion. Towering arches, intricate rock formations, and deep canyons combine to create a surreal terrain often likened to a lunar surface. The park is also an archaeological treasure trove, boasting parietal rock art and cave paintings that date back as much as 12,000 years. With around 15,000 drawings and engravings, the artwork vividly portrays ancient life, depicting antelope, cattle, crocodiles, and other large wild animals, as well as human activities like hunting and dancing. This extraordinary convergence of natural and cultural heritage offers a unique window into prehistoric life, underscoring the profound and enduring relationship between humanity and the environment.

One of the most beautiful scenic views of Algeria, the nearest international airport is located in Djanet, about 20 km away. There is no public transportation there. Excursions on the sand dunes are allowed on foot or by vehicle, preferably a four-wheel drive for all terrain or an off-road vehicle. Overnight stay in the park is not allowed; accommodation is only possible in camps, but there are many hotels in the vicinity. Most of the restaurants are located near the park. Swimming is not allowed in the Ihrir River.

This is an amazing place, by far the very best trip I have ever taken in my whole life... and I have traveled a lot. Visually speaking it's absolutely stunning, a dream for photographers. The people are so friendly and the culture is so different and incredibly interesting. The desert itself is another fantastic thing to experience. You will hear the sound of true silence for the very first time in your life. Just make sure you have a good guide, you don't want to get lost around here.
