The Hoggar Mountains, also known as the Ahaggar Mountains, are a highland region located in the central Sahara of southern Algeria. This rugged and dramatic landscape is characterized by its towering peaks, volcanic rock formations, and ancient geological structures. The highest peak, Mount Tahat, rises to an elevation of about 2,908 meters (9,541 feet) and is the tallest point in Algeria. The Hoggar Mountains are not only known for their striking natural beauty but also for their historical and cultural significance. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years, with evidence of prehistoric human activity and rock art. The indigenous Tuareg people have long called this region home, and their rich traditions and nomadic lifestyle continue to shape the cultural landscape of the Hoggar Mountains today.
