Our final day in Djanet was another great one of beauty as we headed back to paved roads and civilization. We went to the town and some shopping for the group. Our final meal was a dinner campsite near the airport to be ready for our late night flight back to Algiers.

a rock like an elephant
a rock like a praying man
a popular tourist site with the crying cow carving
this seems to be the most popular carving, so it's like the Mona Lisa of Djanet
elaborate traffic circle decoration

Apparently I was tired and didn't really take any more pics for the evening. I was extra cold because I couldn't add my extra layer of long underwear before dinner so I kept my hands in my gloves. It was a long day ending with a 1:25am flight back to Algiers which was delayed an hour before we finally made it home about 5am.
In the end, it was an amazing trip. It was probably our best trip in Algeria after two and a half years of travels.
