In Chad we can find the Ennedi plateau which, according to desert experts, is the best preserved area of the Sahara and the richest in diversity of ecosystems and cave paintings. Other deserts like Borkou and Tibesti will delight any desert lover. In the center of Chad we have another point of interest: the Gerewol of the Wodaabes. It consists of an annual ceremony that brings together all the clans so that young people can flirt and meet their future wives and husbands. Other highlights would be Zakouma National Park (refuge for the last herds of animals in the wild), exciting tribal groups and Lake Chad, the last one that borders the Sahara.

Ennedi, the most important natural and cultural reserve of the Sahara

A natural sandstone masterpiece spanning 50,000 km2 of sculpted landscape punctuated by cliffs, natural arches, mushroom-shaped rocks, and giant labyrinths. Nicknamed "Eden in the Sahara", the reserve is located within the Ennedi Massif, a mountainous refuge.

Home of Major Gerewol

The Gerewol is an annual courtship ceremony for Wodaabe youth. Young men dressed in elaborate ornamentation and made up with traditional face paint gather in lines to dance and sing, vying for the attentions of marriageable young women.

Vernacular architecture on the shores of Lake Chad and the Chari River

The most spectacular forms of Chadian vernacular architecture are found on the shores of Lake Chad and the Chari River. Kotoko society built complex urban structures, palaces, and walls to fortify cities. One of the best examples is in Gaoui.
