Ilamane
Ilâmane
A volcanic neck shaped like a giant stone tower, at about 2,739 meters, the most recognizable silhouette in the Hoggar.
Ilâmane is a steep volcanic-rock neck with nearly vertical walls. It is regarded as a symbol of the Hoggar and a target for climbers. Most visitors do not climb it; instead they stop at its base on off-road routes around Atakor and take photos. At the foot is a small mosque and a seasonal Tuareg camp. It lies about 25 km from Tamanrasset and is often visited on the same day as Mount Tahat. A licensed guide is required.
