The experience
An exceptional desert, shaped by land and silence.
Explore this circuit on foot, by 4×4 or by camel, with a discovery, balanced or active pace chosen with our team.
Iherir, situated in the breathtaking world of stone forests, stunning gorges, and labyrinthine canyons north of Tassili Adjer, is 200 kilometers away from Djanet. Oasis Iherir is home to a collection of houses nestled at the bottom of a canyon, 1100-1400 meters above sea level. The Tassili Adjer valley in Iherir is a UNESCO World Heritage site (1982) and a Man and the Biosphere reserve (1986). Recognized as a wetland of global importance under the Ramsar Convention (2001), it is a realm of extraordinary landscapes, rich vegetation, and varied fauna, some of which are endemic. Permanent wadis in this region are the last refuge for fish in the Sahara. It's also a hub of proto-Berber rock art. This plateau region provides coolness in summer and ensures moderate temperature differences in winter. Near Iherir and green gueltas, one can discover a village, now abandoned, which was, for years, the summer village of the inhabitants of Iherir.
A few families come to harvest dates in these places, but they don't live there. Iherir is a marvel for the Tuareg themselves, for curious travellers, and scientists from all backgrounds, including geologists, naturalists, and prehistorians.
