Taghit, Algeria Taghit. If you're setting out for one oasis alone, it might as well be Taghit. It is a strikingly beautiful place, with strong and seemingly threatening sand dunes to the east of the town. These dunes are among the biggest you will find in the Grand Erg Occidental . What makes Taghit a must, is that you really get the feeling of which dimensions these dunes represent, especially will you be able to make this visible on photos.
Sunrise is since long one of the standards for visitors.
The village is an old mud-brick part that meets the modern parts, all set in between green palm groves. The village is dominated by the old ksar, which is not accessible, as this is a military post. And a camp site. One restaurant apart from the one at the hotel, only. As Taghit is off the main road down western Algeria, there are only few buses, so taxis is preferred by most.
