Taghit is located at the south-west of Algeria, about 80 Km far from Bechar and near the Morroco frontiere.

It is a town well known by tourists for its oasis and dunes. Located at the west of the 'Grand Erg Occidental' (the Big western Dunes) which is a huge surface of Big dunes (like what you see in the movies) same as the other one in Algeria (the big eastern dunes). You can even enjoy skiing on the sand as you do it on the snow or by catching a camel's tail... AMAZING.

Frank Herbert would probably love this place (if you don't know him go straight to GoOgLe ;)

You can see some prehistorical drawings around and vist the beautiful variety of geological structures in Béni Abbes (about 200 km south).

Nothing more to say... lovely place.
