Saharan Atlas

The Saharan Atlas is a mountain range in Algeria, part of the larger Atlas Mountains which stretch across North Africa. It runs parallel to the northern edge of the Sahara Desert. The Saharan Atlas features diverse landscapes, including plateaus, valleys, and rugged peaks, and is characterized by unique flora and fauna adapted to arid conditions. This region is significant for its natural beauty and biodiversity, as well as its historical importance, having influenced trade and culture in the Sahara. It plays a critical role in local ecology and climate regulation in the surrounding desert environment.
