Place: The Arak gorges are a series of desert gorges located in Tamanrasset Province, Algeria.[1] The gorges are roughly 330 kilometres from the city of Tamanrasset. Carved by ancient river activity, the canyon walls vary in height from 250 to 500 m (800 to 1600 ft), and the canyon base is now a dry wadi.
