Tamanrasset / Aguenar (DAAT) - In Guezzam (DATG).
Algeria.
Flight No. 026.
Note: With every nautical mile and every desert dune I feel more like I’m actually driving a truck through the Sahara desert instead of flying in a plane. The road goes ever on and on… no wonder I put on a trucking playlist about half the way to the southern border 
Roads Used: Route Nationale 1 / RN1 (Tamanrasset - In Guezzam).
1. Tamanrasset - Southern Edge of the Hoggar Mountains: Okay, I changed the plan again - we’ve flown the way to the southern border today. Passing Tamanrasset (1) we followed RN1 further south (2) past Amsel (3) out of the Hoggar Mountains (4) until we reached a flat desert plain (5) that stretches all the way to In Guezzam.
2. Southern Edge of the Hoggar Mountains - Tamanrasset - In Guezzam Border: We came across traces of water in the sand (6), small ridges (7) and little hills (8) while the sun continued to set (9) as we approached the district border to In Guezzam (10).
3. Tamanrasset - In Guezzam Border - Dunes Laouni: Looking back across the border and towards the sunset (11) we focussed on our way forward through the vibrant desert evening (12). We could spot more and more small white puffs of clouds in the distance (13 & 14) and finally reached the Laouni Dunes (15) just as the sun vanished behind the horizon.
4. Dunes Laouni - In Guezzam: As the stars came out we followed the lights of RN1 (16) while it got darker and darker (17). Then we saw In Guezzam in the distance (18) and I noticed my mistake - I didn’t check if the airfield was illuminated (it was, but so faint that I saw it just before touchdown). Still we approached across the town itself (19) and landed without any major troubles.
