Private circuit in Tamanrasset, the Hoggar and the Assekrem of several days

For die-hard seekers of sumptuous and unique landscapes, the Hoggar National Park is an essential stopover. The mythical sunrise over the Atakor massif is considered one of the most beautiful in the world.

"This stay marked a total break with the comfortable way of life to which we are accustomed. It was precisely what I was looking for when choosing to leave for the Hoggar. I enjoyed the immensity of these desert landscapes, the changing light, color contrasts between rock and sand, and the life that persists in this aridity.” Patrick Nallet.
