The Tassili Plateau in Sahara

 

If we imagined a desert ideal for an adventure film in places that look fantastic, there is no need to model it in a 3D animation program. It would suffice to move to Algeria in the desert of Tassili n’Ajjer.

Tassili n’Ajjer is a landscape almost unknown in the big leagues tourism, but recognized as a World Heritage Site since 1982. In the desert of Sahara, emerges a mountainous area which reaches 2,158 meters above sea level. This area exposes many wonders: a forest of cypress trees in the sand, archaeological sites, and above all, incredible eroded sandstone forms, over 300 natural arches rocks and structures of the most curious and striking.

The area is also famous for the numerous paintings and engravings. An “art gallery” of the Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic reflecting wildlife and customs of those who inhabited the region.

Interestingly, in the rock paintings of Tassili n’Ajjer, there are remains of animals such as giraffes, elephants, and signs of a fertile, moist ecosystem, before the Sahara began to dry. This area holds many surprises and wilderness wonders worth a visit.

The Sand Dunes of Mui Ne

If you have planned an escapade in Vietnam, be sure to visit one of its extraordinary places. One spectacular spot in Vietnam are the sand dunes of Mui Ne .

The sand dune of Mui Ne is located in an area colored by lush forests and bamboo groves; dunes that stretch for miles—varying from red to yellow to white.

The highest part of the dunes resembles a miniature Sahara, where there are no plants of any kind. The slopes are steep and difficult to trace. Also, if you go to Mui Ne, you can enjoy the view of small lakes and forests and pine trees that make their way through the sand.
