Its importance as a venue for the sub-prefecture, its colonial fort with a large garrison and armed sentries who guard the main square, make that it is strictly forbidden to photograph; everything for the benefit of a greater chance of being able to approach and exchange a few words in French with these populations usually very secretive. The oasis is a rare beauty, where time seems to stand still really, civilization as we know it is light years away from this place. Fada was occupied for seven years Libyan army when it invaded the northern Tchad; France later helped its former colony to expel the invaders. It is estimated that the Libyan army in its retreat has abandoned about the value of one billion dollars in military equipment. It 'so easy to find in the twisted metal and charred tanks and missile launcher vehicles; scattered in the desert artillery grenades, helmets of the soldiers, roofs of cars and trucks, while thousands and thousands of shell casings to machine guns emerge from the sands

The massive Ennedi is a huge sandstone plateau of about 1000 m in height formed between 500 and 300 mioni years ago. It covers about 60,000 square kilometers (the extension of Switzerland). The wadi which winds for about thirty kilometers, ends in a large verdant, rocky amphitheater set where the real gorges that lead to guelta, permanent water point where the Tebu and Bideyat nomads bring their herds to drink. Throat and guelta are a real natural monument; enclosed by high, vertical walls of reddish rock several hundred meters wide at the entrance, which shrink to about 20-30 meters at the point of permanent water. Fulcrum of life, the millennial guelta is the incredible location of the last living specimens of Saharan crocodiles, witness to ancient times and truly unique opportunity to admire the last witnesses of the ancient Saharan fauna.
