ALG-243, Tifinar Arch, Tissoukai Area Islet Four. 5.4 meter span,
3.1 meter height (measured). GPS 32R 552095 2755289. From ALG-238 (Tomb
Arch), walk southwest 550 meters into an obvious long corridor of low rock to the arch, which is
located on the edge of the islet. The name of this arch comes from the Tifinar inscription and
painting from the dromedary period that is found around the arch. Tifinar inscriptions are short
messages left by shepherds or nomads of this period. The oldest ones are not deciphered by the
present nomads of the region, although they comprise almost the same alphabet as today. The
author posing inside the span provides scale.
