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.
Situated in the extreme southeast of Tassili n'Ajjer, this journey offers marvel and tranquility in one of the most breathtaking Tassilian deserts. With 4x4 logistics support, we explore immense dunes that create an extraordinary palette of colors, with a predominant theme of red to discover at your own pace. From Djaren and Moul Naga to Bouhadian, Tin Merzouga, and OuanZaouatane, we navigate through a labyrinth of canyons, rocky peaks, and arches. Within caves, whether open or on the ground, moving paintings and engravings unfold. This expedition is an immersion into one of the Sahara's most captivating locales.
Your itinerary
The journey, step by step.
Suggested itinerary: stages are adapted to the travel mode and pace agreed with the team.
Arrival at the airport, greeted by our Tuareg team. Transfer to your bivouac site at Tinamali.
After breakfast, embark on a 4x4 journey to reach the Tadrart massif. Arrive at Wadi El Beridj. Take a stroll around our initial bivouac site.
Depart in the morning for a continuous hike towards the dune of Cirque de Moul Naga. Our trail takes us on an invisible path, heading directly east, navigating through expansive wadis, small dunes, and rock paintings. Our only guides are the position of the sun in the sky and our own shadows. Dinner and bivouac in the dunes.
Depart from the yellow dunes of Moul Naga. A leisurely walk through a desert valley, with dunes dominating the horizon. Traverse vast expanses until reaching Aainzaouaten, where we explore rock carvings. Dinner and bivouac.
Navigate through hidden passages to reach broad valleys surrounded by sand, where the presence of trees reminds us that not long ago, animals roamed freely. Encounter mouflons, damans (marmots), moula-moula (black-headed whites), and jackals. Explore paintings. Dinner and bivouac in Bohoudian.
Amidst this chaotic landscape, where dunes surge towards extraordinary fortresses, providing easy access to plateaus bearing traces of prehistoric human occupation. Ascend the large dune to witness the sunset, adapted to the preferences of the participants. Dinner and bivouac at Tin Merzouga.
Dizzying spires organize themselves into cathedrals, monumental arches stand in the heart of valleys, and canyons with astonishing sides carve into the ochre and sandy rock. Dinner and bivouac in Ouan Ahar.
All-terrain vehicles follow Wadi Djaren to unveil further imprints and paintings. Your guide is ADLATI Sabel Noiar. Arrive in Djanet in the afternoon after traversing the "Weeping Cow" site. A brief shower and a visit to the capital Ajjers precede the transfer to the airport for departure.
