Be careful on the N1 road heading south toward Tamanrasset

Just finished the drive from Ghardaïa to Tamanrasset and the N1 is pretty rough in patches right now. There is a lot of shifting sand on the asphalt about 200km before you hit the city, so take it slow if you're in a standard car. Honestly, keep your tires pressure checked at every station because the heat spikes are brutal.

Thanks for the heads up, that stretch can be brutal! Did you find that the fuel stations were well-stocked along the way, or should I carry extra jerry cans?
