Ennedi

The Ennedi Plateau is a vast maze of rocks and stones that is one of Chad's most beautiful destinations. This is a geological anomaly with a 60,000-square-kilometer footprint. Like sculptures, caves, ponds, and stone arches emerge from the sand. Many petroglyphs - thousands-year-old rock paintings - were uncovered on the rocks at the turn of the century. Animals and people, as well as horse riders and soldiers, were represented by the ancients. This is a gallery that is open to the public.

The landscape is harsh, with scorpions and beetles aplenty, but it also has some of the world's most magnificent and bizarre rock formations. The landscape is largely flat, but there are massive stone arches and jagged rock formations that look like natural works of art that protrude up from time to time. The area is difficult to reach and difficult to survive in, necessitating meticulous planning and provisions, yet those who come here are rewarded with some of the world's most breathtaking natural scenery.
