(La) Meseta de Tassili

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tassili_n'Ajjer

The Tassili n'Ajjer (It is a name from the Berber language, and it is known as "التاسيلي" (Tassili) in Arabic and its English name is: "Tassili Plateau") is a mountain range in the Sahara desert in southeast Algeria, North Africa. It extends about 500 km from 26°20′N, 5°00′E east-south-east to 24°00′N, 10°00′E, and the highest point is Adrar Afao, 2158 m, at 25°10′N, 8°11′E. The nearest town is Djanet, about 10 km southwest of the range.

Much of the range, including the cypresses and archaeological sites (see below), is protected in a National park, Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, named the Tassili n'Ajjer National Park.
The ecology of the Tassili n'Aljer is more fully described in the article West Saharan montane xeric woodlands, the ecoregion to which this area belongs. The literal English translation of "Tassili n'Ajjer" is 'Plateau of the rivers'; indicating a time when the climate was far more wet than today.

There is another way of looking at this: You can use "Meseta de Tassili", and footnote it with an explanation - your choice.....
