Royal Mausoleum of Mauritania

We stopped at the royal Numidian mausoleum. It is a circular funerary monument, built with a diameter of 60m and a height of 32m, constructed with stones with a volume of more than 800 cubic meters.
It is attributed to the Numidian period during the reign of King Juba II of Caesarea Mauritania from 25 BC to 23 AD, who gave it to his wife, Cléopâtre Séléné II, daughter of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII.
Then we had a short stop at the Grand Algerian Mosque, a remarkable building finished in 2019.
From here to the airport for an evening flight south to the oasis town of Djanet to explore the Tassili N'Ajjer desert region.Read more
