About Tademaït
Tademaït is a remote plateau region in central Algeria within the Sahara Desert. It consists of arid, rocky and largely uninhabited landscapes.
The area offers stark desert terrain rather than developed visitor facilities; travel is generally undertaken by expedition or scientific parties rather than casual tourism. Landforms include rocky plateaus and salt flats typical of the central Sahara.
As a geographic feature of the central Sahara, Tademaït has been a part of trans-Saharan routes and regional geography for millennia; detailed recorded history is limited due to its remoteness and sparse habitation.
Located in central Algeria within the In Salah administrative area, the plateau lies deep in the Sahara and is remote from major coastal cities.
