    Tassili N'Ajjer is a 72000 square kilometers natural plateau made completely out of sandstone. It's geologically stunning, yet the biggest highlight are the multiple well-preserved cave rock carvings with at least 12000 years of age. This site proves that there were human populations in the Sahara already in the beginnings, even illustrating the form of life they kept.
