Hermitage of Charles de Foucauld
It's obligatory to visit the Hermitage of Charles de Foucauld, a monk who came to live in the Hoggar in early last century. He chose to build a simple stone hermitage on top of the Assekrem plateau and can only be reached on foot. A few monks from Foucauld's order live up at the hermitage and say mass every morning in the small simple chapel; guests are welcome to join in.

Atakor
The plateau of Atakor is a Tolkein-esque land of dry earth and dark peaks, at the heart of which is Assekrem. Without your own transport, getting out to the Atakor plateau can be difficult, but it's worth making the effort to get up to Assekrem.
