Like a ship on an ocean of sand, 300 km north of Tamanrasset, is the Tefedest. A grandiose and wild universe, this long granite massif towers over 2000 m over deeply incised valleys, creating real labyrinths between rocks and dunes. Superb decor of small ergs and regs, where the bottoms of wadis lined with tamarisk and acacia trees thread their way through the granite walls... A magnificent Saharan atmosphere. Superb mountain range oriented south-north, the only truly individualized of the Hoggar massif, the Tefedest forms a world apart. Its width is 20 to 30 kms and its total length is approximately 120 kms, between the extreme southern point: the In Acoulmou, a very beautiful summit which is also its highest point (2369 m) and the last northern buttress, the Garet the Djenoun, the famous mountain of the geniuses of the Tuareg (2327 m), whose large walls of Precambrian granite rise in a single jet from the white sands of the plain which spreads out towards the north, towards Amguid. The Mountain of Geniuses The Tefedest culminates at the Garet - El – Djenoun (the mountain of geniuses) at 2,300 meters, of which Frison–Roche made the first ascent in The Tefedest are the Alps in the heart of the Sahara. A unique and astonishing universe for all those who have kept a traditional image of the desert made up of ergs and regs. The high granite chains that culminate at 2500 meters bar the horizon for 120 km from north to south in strange bluish gradients. From these peaks the wadis descend, giving rise to gueltas and nets of greenery which will be lost in the plains of sand as far as the eye can see. Dunes of very white sand invade the valleys and everywhere rise to attack the mountains forming here and there small ergs. At altitude, in places today inaccessible to herds, engravings, paintings, traces of hearths attest to the richness of this region in the Neolithic period.

Sometimes forgotten tracks, buried in scree and dotted with tumuli, make the weight of history evident. The men are always present. The Issakhamaren Tuareg Tefedset tribe grazes its herds
