ALG-61, Long Slit Arch, Jabbaren Area. 7.5 meter span (measured). GPS 32R 573328 2706886. This
arch is located at the Jabbaren site on the lower part of the cairned loop trail. You can find
the arch where the trail skirts the canyon valley rim. Jabbaren site can be reached from the
Tin-Kani site via Tin-Essou (about 6 hours hiking) or from Djanet-Ifni and the 4WD road to the
bottom of the Tassili cliff. From there it will take 4 hours to climb to the Jabbaren site via
Akba Aroum (Aroum Pass). Jabbaren site is located on the lower level of the plateau ledge. There
are few natural arches in the area but an abundance of great rock art. Most of the people who
visit the Jabbaren site do not use donkney but hike there and back on the same day. If this is
your choice, be ready for a very long and strenuous day. To fully enjoy the site, the author
recommends a minimum two day trip. Jabbaren means "giant" in the Tamahaq dialect.
