The rock forests of Tassili N’Ajjer National Park

Instead of featuring one natural wonder, we decided to show you a place that is packed with geological marvels.

Algeria’s Tassili n'Ajjer National Park is a vast plateau deep in the heart of the Sahara.

Here the towering dunes meet the surreal panorama of geological formations with "rock forests" of eroded sandstone that resemble a strange lunar landscape.

Aside from the natural beauty, there is another type of art to admire in Tasili n’Ajjer. Over 15,000 petroglyphs and paintings record the climatic changes, animal migrations, and the evolution of human life in this corner of the Sahara from 6000 BC to the first centuries of the present era.
