Hi,
in autumn 1989 I made an interesting trip in Algeria in a group of about 15 italian people with an algerian student who was our guide We visited the beautiful capital of Alger, with its high white french styles houses, an arab center old town (medina), the museum of the Revolution of 1960 against France and outside the city some roman ruins and mosaics. We took our airflight to Tamanrasset at more than 4 hours by air in the deep south of this giant country, one of the biggest in Africa. From this strange town, in the dry and stone desert, with its houses surrounded by walls we started our tour in the desert by two 4x4 landrovers, our funny arab cooker and two tuareg drivers.
The tour was very interesting: we visited canyons, stone valleys, met many pinnacles and red mountains, a lot of pre-historic paintings on the walls and even climbed the top of a mountain to reach the Pere Foucault refuge where this missioner lived before being murdered by the locals. We slept under a million stars sky in our sleeping bag without tents and enjoyed the desert experience that is unique, I miss it so much that I want to repeat it again on the sand dunes of Djanet, the east part of Hoggar Tassili, the rocky red desert similar to the U.S. Monument Valley More thumbnails ...
