The Sahara Desert in Chad is a stunning and remote landscape featuring vast sand dunes, dramatic rock formations, and ancient cultural heritage. The Ennedi Plateau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its natural arches, canyons, and prehistoric rock art. The Tibesti Mountains, home to the Emi Koussi volcano (3,445 m), the highest peak in the Sahara, are inhabited by the Toubou people, known for their rich nomadic traditions. Visitors can explore gorges, oases, and unique desert wildlife, including Barbary sheep and gazelles. The best time to visit is November–March, with access typically by 4x4 expeditions from N’Djamena.
