In-Depth Information
If driving you have two alternatives: the southerly Piste du Batha, which passes through
sand dunes and requires a 4WD and guide, and the northerly Piste du Dhar Chinguetti
along the plateau, which is in very good condition. The latter departs the Atâr-Chinguetti
road 18km before Chinguetti.
TOP OF CHAPTER
Tanouchert
This charming oasis, approximately halfway between Chinguetti and Ouadâne, is a popu-
lar stop for 4WD trips and camel treks. Nestled around a freshwater source, it's complete
with palm trees and surrounded by superb dune fields, miles from anywhere.
You'll need to hire a 4WD with driver to get to Tanouchert. Otherwise, if you do a
camel trek from Chinguetti to Ouadâne, you'll probably spend a night here.
