Ahaggar - February 2001

Holidays in Algeria? A strange idea, considering the recent events. And yet hiking tarvel agencies are organizing again hikes in this mythic region: Hoggar. We did this two-week hike in the Atakor area, the highest part of Hoggar. Pictures from Hoggar you usually see are from a very specific part, Tassili du Hoggar. But in Atakor, no stone cathedrals lying in the sand: there's no sand. Everything is rock and stone. Follow me in these landscapes where meetings are rare.
