As you might expect from the name (plateau) it's fairly flat without much in the way of outstanding geological features. It's an area that was used in probably every Dakar rally in the later African years. I've done several traverses using a variety of routes. One of the easiest areas is south west of Ain Beni Mathar where there's a couple of Foreign Legion forts.
