Old painting in Erg Chebbi, behind Taouz

This time I wanted to see old painting in the rock I heard about that they are behind Taouz, the last town in Erg Chebbi where the paved road ends. I had only normal car but it was possible to go on the piste there even if once I got stuck in the sand but managed to come out anyway. I was watching camels who were grazing there around and forgot to be a little careful where I run.

 
There is only the desert with mountains, small sand dunes, salt dry lakes, small wonderful oasis, river bed, short said an exciting area which continue until Erg Chigaga. It is about 250 km of only pure desert where you can find still here and there genuine Nomads living with theirs goats and sheep and camels of course.

 

 

 

 

It was then to climb up a bit to get to the rocks where it was this ancient carvings on. There were right so many such animal drawings, wonder only why just on the ground, if there once was some floor of any building or why. Normally such are carved on the wall, but as said, here they were on the ground - floor.

Some "funny scallywag" have, however, drawn and therefore destroyed the picture of this animal, quite terrible it is that people make such things and think they are funny.

It was really nice area there, wonderful view overall so I wished to have 4x4 and drive there everywhere. But I hope one day I can explore the whole here a little more than only this small piece of the desert here.

On the way back I have also visiting remains of old Kasbah Taouz. It was pretty much left out of the kasbah and really interesting to see it. I could see how it was then at the time. It was not that big but still got glimpses of it.
