In Salah is at the cross road between the North-south axis Algiers-Tamanrasset and the east-west axis Reggane-Ghat via the Tidikelt. When there were only camel caravans, it was a main stage. Now that trucks have replaced camels and paved roads replaced sand tracks, it nevertheless remains a stage between Algiers (1,300 km) and Tamanrasset (650 km). |
|  | I have visited In-Salah several times between 1973 and 1988. I do not know exactly how many inhabitants there were at that period, may be 10-20,000. The city has now increased and has 54,000 inhabitants. I hope it has kept its character
In-Salah is the capital of a daïra of 30,000 inhabitants, part of the wilaya of Tamamrasset (Wilaya de Tamghasset) |
Nota: I will write In-Salah as it is printed on most maps and on local road signs. However, you can find also the writing I-n-Salah, In Sallah or In-Çalah | | |

Algeria must be a very intersting country! | Bwana_Brown Thu Apr 26, 2007 14:06 UTC
It is always interesting to read these pages of your past travels in the desert! Some beautiful shots here of the mosque and strange tower (or silo)! Great descriptions and views of the locals going about their business. | matcrazy1 Sat Mar 10, 2007 06:40 UTC
I like your 75 years old companion in his 2CV Citroen :-) Interesting tip on molding adobe bricks - the same technology was used by Native Americans as I noticed in desert US states. The mosque looks absolutely fantastic! | scottishvisitor Wed Feb 28, 2007 20:22 UTC
Now I see why you are a desert lover - marvelous descriptions of the colours especially the green of plants contrasting with the red sand |
