  1. A

    Musée du Tassili

    The Musée du Tassili has a small collection of exhibits detailing the history and environment of the region. One room concentrates on the formation of Tassili N’Ajjer plateau and on its animal and plant life and has some gazelle and sheep skulls, ostrich eggs and ceramics. Another room contains a beautiful photographic exhibition of the rock paintings of the region. The best exhibition contains reproductions of nomad life, including a life-sized zeriba and Tuareg jewellery, weaponry and musical instruments.

  2. Ksar Azellouaz

    Ksar Azellouaz is the remains of one of the oldest original settlements in this area. It looks quite romantic from the outside and you can wander round the old streets and hollow, crumbling building but the romance is ruined by all of the scattered tin cans and animal skulls and bones.
