Take a look

City of Caves

Sefar is located in the heart of the Tassili N'Ajjer mountain range, 2,400 km south of Algiers and close to the Libyan border. The city of Sefar, also called " City of Caves ", is one of the largest troglodyte cities in the world, with several thousand petrified structures. It has been on the World Heritage List since 1982. It was discovered in 1965 by the tour guide Djebrine Ag Mohammed Ag Machar, (1890 - 1981).

Nevertheless, very few travellers visit it owing to its geographical remoteness and especially the difficulty of accessing the site. The absence of a road makes it inaccessible and the only way to get there is to cross the road from the Tassili N'Ajjer plateau and take a very steep path on foot or on a donkey.

Pictures

The paintings, some of which date back more than 12,000 years, mostly depict animals and scenes of hunting or day-to-day life, thus revealing that the Sahara Desert was not always as it is today. Among the most famous drawings are "The Great God", "The Black Archer", "The Martian" and "The Round Heads"...
