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 hikers, and scientists from all backgrounds, including geologists, naturalists, and prehistorians.
