Route highlights
Djanet gateway
Use the arrival day for permits, equipment checks, local context, and a realistic briefing with the authorised operator.
Sandstone and rock art
Follow an itinerary selected for current permissions, weather, and visitor impact rather than chasing a fixed checklist of sensitive sites.
Desert nights
Camps offer extraordinary skies and silence, but cold, wind, water use, waste, and emergency planning require discipline.
Practical tips
Operator and permits
Book through an authorised operator able to arrange current permits, local guides, vehicles, camps, water, and emergency communication.
Health and equipment
Discuss medical needs in advance and pack for sun, sand, wind, and cold nights. Keep essential medication and water accessible.
Rock-art ethics
Never touch, wet, trace, or illuminate panels with heat-producing equipment. Do not publish sensitive coordinates.
