What to see and do — In Guezzam

The In Guezzam region is traditionally the territory of Kel Hoggar Tuareg, descendants of the legendary Queen Tin Hinan. The In Guezzam oasis (meaning "spring that gushes" in Tuareg) has been inhabited since antiquity, a stop on the caravan route between Kano (Nigeria) and the Maghreb. In the 19th century, trade in gold, ivory, slaves and salt passed through this border. The French entered the region in 1902, established a post in 1907. At independence, In Guezzam was attached to Tamanrasset as a border municipality. The border crossing was gradually fortified against sub-Saharan migrant flows and trafficking. The autonomous wilaya was created in 2019, recognizing local Tuareg identity and the strategic dimension of the post.
