Natural Arches of Ahaggar National Park |
Index Page 8 - Tin-Abezeguine Area |
|
| Tin-Abezeguine area is located a 90-minute jeep drive to the southwest of the site of Tin-Akacheker. This site is composed of a long fringe of scattered rocks rising in the desert plain. There are few natural arches in this area (all close to each other). The beautiful Tin-Abezeguine Arch (ALG-629) alone is worth the detour anyway and the alignment of sculptural spires are really outstanding. Satellite view. | |
