The story

Djanet Tassili Festival in Djanet/Tassili n'Ajjer

A cultural festival centered on the Tassili n'Ajjer plateau near Djanet, a UNESCO World Heritage site holding one of the world's largest collections of prehistoric rock art spanning roughly ten thousand years, combining guided engagement with the ancient panels with music, craft and cultural performance from the region's living Tuareg community.

Djanet's Tassili n'Ajjer plateau holds one of the world's largest collections of prehistoric rock art, thousands of paintings and engravings documenting roughly ten thousand years of changing climate and human life in the central Sahara, from a wetter savanna period through the desert's gradual transformation into its current arid state, a UNESCO World Heritage listing recognizing both the site's cultural and natural significance.
