==Geography== The Tademaït is a rocky plateau made up of cretaceous terrain with a general slope towards the northeast. It is an extremely dry and hyper-arid area with a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) as the region is virtually rainless throughout the year and it has long, extremely hot summers and short, very warm winters.
