Feature

Algeria :


With more than four-fifths of its territory covered by the Sahara desert, the Sahara is Algeria's most striking feature. Relatively inhabited, the area is drawing increasing numbers of tourists. Algerian oases generally defy the European clichĂŠ of a small patch of palms forever threatened by encroaching dunes as they are often fairly large towns with highly organised, walled-in gardens with date palms, and mosques, shops and monuments. Les hommes bleus, blue-robed Touaregs, who are the ancient nomadic inhabitants of the Hoggar Mountains, can be seen making their way in camel caravans around the inscrutable desert.
