Helpfulness
Mertoutek is a permanent Tuareg village in an "oued" or oasis North of Tamanrasset.
There is a compound for tourists with a "zeriba" traditional hut and water from a tap in the compound. There are no toilets, however, and I was told to go up the hill out of sight!
The villagers are friendly and there is a national park guide based there who will take you to see the pre-historic rock art in the hills around the area.
