Algeria: an hospitable country

by Pierangelo - last update: Mar 22, 2004

One large Saharan crossing from Tamanrasset, mysterious city full of colors, to the oasis of Djanet, charming pearl of the Tassili. From the wild panoramas of mountains of the Hoggar to the world bewitched and petrified of Tahaggart, an indescribable enchanted castle of spires and towers that rise from the plane between the finest sands: a reign of bizzarre and magical shapes sunk between dunes in the soft shadows of the sunset. From the volcanic black chains of the Atakor to the spaces infinites of plateaus. Plane of Amadror and the salt-mine, from centuries one of the few riches of the Tuareg; Iherir, characteristic complex of villages with the typical huts, where the time seems to be stopped. The trekking at the discovery of the greatest open air museum of the world: the Tassili n' Ajjer with thousands of prehistoric frescoes that tell a life disappeared from millennia, but that fascinated and captured our imagination. Jabbaren, relief of sandstone cupolas eroded from the wind; deep erg of Admer and erg Kilian, along the corridors between high golden sand hills. With jeeps or on foot one look deepened to the human and natural ambient of the Sahara, which name means in Arabe Empty and Truth.

 Another country I'd like to visit after seeing your photos! Yet, I have not made it here! Hopefully, one fine day!

 Hello Pierangelo, I just looked on your algérien page... I have some questions, but sadly this box says I only have 255 characters, lol! If you can write me, then I can ask you some more questions. soleil_luna2@hotmail.com

 The traveller must feel small when surrounded for miles by the vastness of the Sahara, its dunes and mountains. A journey to Tam and Hoggar is a desire, thanks for showing much of this impressive land. A excellent trip.
