Visit Barh el Gazel
The Barh el Gazel region of Chad is a picturesque collection of savanna, scrubland, and rocky hills in the heart of central Africa. Tourists visiting this area can explore the Djourab Desert and its sand dunes, as well as the Zibar Mountains which make up part of the Tibesti chain. Wildlife found here are plentiful, from endemic birds to large cats such as cheetahs and leopards.
The Barh el Gazel is also home to several historically significant sites. The ancient city of Ouara has been inhabited for centuries and remains an important centre for trade today. The remains of a Roman fort can still be seen at Dar Tama near Faya-Largeau, testament to its strategic importance during antiquity.
More recently, Chad played a major role in World War II when it hosted thousands of Free French soldiers led by General Charles de Gaulle; remnants from that period can be found at Abou Deia camp near Fort Lamy (now N'Djamena). All these sights make Barh el Gazel an interesting destination for anyone looking to explore Chadian culture and history.
