Located about 600 km north-west of Tamanrasset, the Tassili N’Ajjer or Tassili Azguer, is a vast sandstone plateau, of lunar aspects, of a great beauty.
It appears as an iceberg stranded in the middle of a sea of sand; it forms a ribbon 750 km long and a width that varies from 60 to 100 km, covers 120 000km² and culminates at 1500 m altitude.
Tassili N’Ajjer emerges from the sands that surround him on the majority of its periphery: in the East the Libyan seas of sand, in the South, the immense Ténéré and the Erg of Admer, in the north, the Erg Isouane and the Erg Boutharet.
The National Tourism Board of Algeria (ONT) is the Ministry’s instrument in charge of designing and implementing the promotion, marketing, and communication policy of Algerian tourism.
