Description
The station is located on the summit (plateau) of the second highest point of the Hoggar mountain range in the Saharan desert. The site is very remote at a distance of 50 km from Tamanrasset. Touristic activities in the area are limited due to difficult access to a few dozen visitors per day. Vegetation is extremely sparse.
