The Story Behind The Pleiades
The name The Pleiades comes from the seven stars known in the Tuareg tradition as Chet Ahad (ⵛⵉⵜ ⴰⵓⴷ).
For generations, these stars have held an important place in Tuareg travel and desert navigation. They have helped Tuareg travellers recognize the direction of east while crossing the Sahara.
For us, The Pleiades represents more than a name. It reflects a deep connection to Tuareg heritage, desert travel and the timeless relationship between people and the Sahara.
Just as Chet Ahad has been part of the journey across the desert for generations, The Pleiades Travel invites travellers to discover the landscapes, culture and ancient heritage of Djanet and the Algerian Sahara

Ho conosciuto questa agenzia locale su Instagram.
Il proprietario si è da subito mostrato scrupoloso nel fornirmi tutte le informazioni di cui necessitavo. Mi ha aiutato a pianificare il mio itinerario, ottimizzandolo e consigliandomi al meglio.
La stessa professionalità l'ho riscontrata una volta arrivata sul posto, scoprendo che lo staff è anche simpatico.
È stato un viaggio eccezionale per i posti visitati, per le persone conosciute e grazie a The Pleiades.

Je vous conseille vivement cette agence jeune et dynamique !

We organized a wonderful tour with a small group from Italy, covering Djanet, the Sebeiba Festival, and the Tadrart Rouge. It was fantastic! Enchanting locations and perfect organization — from the camp cooking to the guides and drivers. I highly recommend this agency.
