Sahara desert a.k.a "The Greatest Desert" is not only the biggest desert in the world. It also serves as Algeria’s most visited tourist spot.
Sahara desert is the main tourist attraction of Algeria. It has a variety of landscapes - deserts, dunes, meadows, forests etc. along with many beautiful beaches and also it has one of the finest Roman ruins in the world and old Arabic cities. Over 30,000 petroglyphs of river animals such as crocodiles survive, with half found in the Tassili n'Ajjer in southeast Algeria. Fossils of dinosaurs, including Afrovenator, Jobaria and Ouranosaurus, have also been found here.
Ahhagar Mountains are also located here in the Sahara desert. It is a group of mountains consisting of volcanic rocks rising from the barren planes of Sahara with an average height of 900 meters. Also, a number of oases are found here.
Those were only few of the known tourist spot in Algeria. It is nice to know that even a desert cannot be deserted.
