Description:

Hundreds of camels come to the water reservoir every day, and caravans flock here to take a break from the sweltering heat in the pleasant coolness of the high rocks.
By the way, gelta is a special form of natural reservoirs in the Sahara, the water level in which is maintained by underground waters protruding to the surface of the earth. So the water in d’Archey is the color of oil, although the name Gelta itself translates as Clear Water.
Such a rare reptile as the Nile crocodile lives here. In the past, crocodiles could be seen throughout North Africa, but now it is a great success. Despite their evil disposition, predators feed on frogs and fish, of which there are quite a lot in the reservoir. In addition to the unique fauna, tourists may also be interested in rock paintings dating back to the Middle Holocene era.
