Sahara from Djanet Day 4
The first rock art of the day, a rhino.
An oddly shaped rock.
A pair of Twin Towers.
Desolate landscape.
Our guide talking us through more rock art.
An arch...
...and another view through a second arch.
A solitary tree.
Another pair of Twin Towers.
Another group of visitors and overlanders in the distance.
The start of a dual carriageway, desert style.
More rock art in red...
...and cows in white.
Giraffes.
At the head of the wadi was a slot canyon and beyond our guide is not sand but dirty water which will clear eventually.
A fossil of a plant, and there were plenty of other fossils in this particular cliff.
A giraffe giving birth...one of the few times a giraffe will be seen sitting down.
We left the national park through a control point and closed a rocky plateau to reach...
...the Black Dunes...
...an area where magnetite which is black and much denser than sand works its way to the surface as the lighter sand is blown away.
And at last, some camels...
...quickly followed by some donkeys, showing that the feed and water situation just here is ideal for them. Then it was on to a bush camp in a wadi.
