Ancient banks from the Saharian sea, the sandstones plateaus surround the Hoggar mountain range. 

In North-East of Tassili N'Ajjer,  Djanet reveals a lot of rupestrian paintings discovered by  the ehtnologist and writer Henri Lhote.

In South-East, the Tassili of Ahaggar stayed away from main arteries until 1970 because this dry and rocky tassel was inhospitable.

Few contraband caravans used to cross this desert plateaus but nomads would have not risked to hazard.


 Today, Tassili of Hoggar is an indispensable destination for the Saharian traveler.
