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. |
