Go there and contact
The Olympia Nights Festival or festival of Essouk takes place in the small village of Essouk, located 60 km from Kidal, in the Adrar des Ifoghas. The festival is usually held in early January. The atmosphere is impressive: in the light of headlamps, music groups occur in the desert. Big carpets serve as a stage. The stands are granite stones that span the landscape. In the day there are great camel races, but also tents where you can see calligraphie calligraphy and craftsmen. The various tribes are at this festival for moments of important exchanges (Takoubelt). The festival was created to make this region very isolated and also attracts European travellers.
