ALG-233, Machar Jebrine Arch, Tissoukai
Area Islet Four. 14.0 meter span (measured). GPS 32R 551670 2755396. From
ALG-226 (Abandoned Arch), leave Islet 3 and cross
the flat 150 meters to Islet 4. Then walk inside the rock masses east
for about 200 meters to this wonderful arch. Machar Jebrine (1890-1981)
is the famous Tuareg guide of Djanet who lead most of the Henry Lhote
expeditions in the Tassili. The name of the Tassili National Park office
in Djanet is in memory of Machar Jebrine. The area around ALG-233 and
the whole of Islet 4 has an incredible abundance of good natural arches.
