Algeria - camping adventure in the Sahara

A journey through the Algerian Sahara offers a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in one of the world’s most remarkable desert landscapes. This adventure, spanning a series of stunning natural features, takes travellers deep into the heart of the Sahara, where towering dunes, dramatic rock formations, and ancient rock art await. The trip begins in Algiers, Algeria's bustling capital, with explorations of its historical landmarks before heading to the desert.

After a flight to Djanet, the true adventure begins with a convoy of 4WD vehicles that navigate the rugged terrain towards wild camping spots, where the silence of the desert becomes a welcome retreat from modern life. Days are spent discovering the rich heritage of prehistoric rock art in the Tassili n'Ajjer plateau, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and exploring the vast sand dunes and canyons that define the region’s beauty. As night falls, camps are set up in remote, tranquil locations, where travellers can enjoy traditional Tuareg meals and the vast desert sky.

The journey culminates with visits to ancient rock art sites, such as the crying cows engravings, before returning to Djanet for a final night of relaxation. This immersive experience offers not only a visual feast but also a profound connection to one of the planet’s most enduring landscapes.
