	Adventures of Algeria: Tamanrasset

		Among the main attractions of Tamanrasset is the vicinity to Ahaggar, the enormous mountain range, giving shelter for people and animals, through a sparse shower now and then.
		With Tamanrasset 1400 metres above sea level, giving it a mild temperature, and the highest mountains of Ahaggar ranging almost 3000 metres up, and the whole of Ahaggar 600 times 400 kilometres in size, there is plenty of room for drama in this place.
