Eglab

The Eglab country forms part of the great Réguibat ridge of the western Sahara. Ancient crystalline rocks emerge across broad plains, interrupted by isolated rocky hills called guelbs. The eastern part of the ridge is known as the Eglab massif, while arms of the Erg Iguidi extend across the desert to its west. This is a landscape of enormous distances, where stone and sand dominate and rainfall is scarce.
