Algeria: Tassili n’Ajjer NP – Camping & Stargazing in Sahara

The beauty of exploring the heart of the Sahara is camping in the sands and bizarre rock formations, eating traditional local food cooked on open fire, drinking Tuareg tea (spiced and poured the right way), and watching the stars. The temperature drop to very comfortable levels after the day’s heat and the air of fresh and cool. Tassili n’Ajjer is far from civilization in the heart of Sahara. Night stargazinghere offers a truly extraordinary experience due to the region’s super remote location and minimal light pollution. You get clear and unobstructed views of stars, constellation, planets, meteors, and other celestial bodies (like slowly moving satellites). The arid desert climate results in many cloudless nights, making it an excellent place for stargazing. The lack of humidity in the air enhances visibility, allowing for sharper and more detailed observations of the night sky. The Milky Way is particularly stunning in this dark sky environment – it was truly mindblowing!
