Introducing Atâr

With the grandiose Adrar on your doorstep, this secluded town in the middle of the desert is an excellent place in which to organise camel or 4WD forays into the dunefields.

A large rond-point (roundabout) marks the centre of Atâr and the market is just north of it. You’ll find several bureaux de change, banks (US dollars and euros) and telephone offices on or around the main drag. Atâr had only one internet café at the time of writing.
