The Tassili N'Ajjer National Park is located in the southeast of Algeria in the Tassili n'Ajjer massif, it is bounded on the east by Libya and on the south by the Niger. The main town in the vicinity is the town of Djanet.Due to the great wealth of the park (notably its famous engravings and rock paintings), Tassili was declared a national park in 1972. The park was then declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982 and classified as a reserve And the Biosphere in 1986.
Covering an area of 100,000 hectares, the park has above all an archaeological character with a multitude of engravings and cave paintings and the last cypresses of Duprez or Tarout. The Tassili Park is also called the largest prehistoric museum in the world because of its 15,000 cave works listed.
Among the fauna present in the cave drawings, it is discovered that 230 animal species are still alive and is found especially in the high part of the plateau like the large mammals: sheep with a cuff that maintains well in the most steep regions, many Gazelles in the great wadis of Tassili and fish in gueltas.
One notes the presence of the cheetah which is disappearing, the fennec, the fox, the cat of the sands, the goundi of the Sahara. As for the avifauna it is represented by the owl, the ferocious buzzard and the royal eagle.
In this park are the three ksours built on the banks of the wadi, El Mihane in the south is a typical Saharan ksar with its houses of clay and stones and winding alleys that climb the steep slopes of a piton.
Adjahil is stuck against the cliff and overlooks gardens and springs. These ksours are in ruins, but are of great interest by their organization and their architecture.
The National Park of Tassili n'Ajjer is home to an inestimable cultural, historical and landscape heritage that man has to protect.
