Algeria’s Painted Desert
Tucked away in Algeria’s southeastern corner lie the territories of Ajjer, heartland of the nomadic Tuareg and one of the most diverse and dramatic desert landscapes on earth. Within these territories sits the Tadrart Rouge, a mountainous plateau crisscrossed by a labyrinth of ancient ouedis and fringed by the sands of the Sahara. This fiery face of wilderness conceals a wealth of human and natural history, and one of the most spectacular collections of rock art in Africa.
In the expert care of our Tuareg guides, discover a landscape that is both harsh and formidable, yet at the same time primordial, strangely familiar, and totally intoxicating. Whether you explore by car or by camel, the cadence of life in the desert strips life back to its most beautiful simplicity.
