In Algeria, one of the main natural attractions is the Ahaggar massif. It is located near the town of Tamanrasset, that is the highest point in the state. Mount Tahat heads upward for 2 918 meters. Researchers found out that the mountains are of volcanic origin. For thousands of years, they have been acquiring a unique form given by the wind and water. Considering that the mountain is among the barren landscapes of the Sahara, it looks fantastic, especially at sunset.
However, modern travelers can’t enjoy this amazing landmark without a risk to their life. The reason is a number terrorist groups that forage in the area. The way to Ahaggar, as well as a ride close to the world-famous landmark isn’t safe. Many travelers do not lose the hope that soon the situation in the area of Algeria will be normalized, and they will finally be able to see one of the natural wonders of the world.
It’s great to admire the rocky mountains at sunset, as their outlines are even more precise. In this light peaks are painted in rich pink color. The Ahaggar massif is the central attraction of the national park of the same name, which is famous for the unique representatives of fauna. It is home not only to cheetahs and mongooses that are traditional for African oases, but to rare species of wild cats and foxes that have not been investigated yet.
