Hi,
Yesterday I received the information that Algerian goverment thinks about opening Tamanrasset area (Assekrem, Hoggar, Immidir) for foreigners from 1st of January 2017. Maybe. Regards Artur Urbanski |
Fly in - Ride with a Tour Operator - Fly out.
Is it how most of us want to ride in Algeria? As long as adventure riders will have to go thru a tourism agency, Algeria might remain off limit for most of us. Hoping to see how things evolve in Algeria, ;-) |
Algeria - Tadrart
Hi folks
I just came back from the expedition to Algeria (organised by me) 27 days on the road 4 toyotas from Poland to Tadrart and back a little trouble with ferries canceled and delayed because of the storm 3 days with escort from Taleb Larbi to Djaned, sometimes fast, sometimes very slow (especially segment around Hassi Massoud), it is immposible to do it faster. The gendarmerie wants to put you up at the hotel, of camping site be at your post and doesn't let you nowhere move. The robust conduct only allows for getting about the city and it in the company of the guide or somebody from the hotel. Irritating, but it is simply a part of the expedition and one should accept it. Then 7 days in Tadrart with freedom only with our guide Very good service carried out by Timtar Voyages, many matters which could go badly stayed rescued and everything ended successfully. I recommend the cooperation with Timtar. If Tammanraset will open I am moving with them on the 100%. 3 days retuned with escort from Djaned to Taleb Larbi with detour to Ghardia and Beni Izguen. Border crossing enter for 4 cars and 11 persons 2 hours in Taleb Larbi. Exit 0,5 hours Insurance for car 30 EUR, for bike 15 EUR 100 EUR - 15 000 DZD in Taleb Larbi, even 19 000 DZD in Ghardia. Negotiate all the time, I like it and it is possible to take better conditions out Diesel - 20,42 DZD, Super - 34,72 DZD Food cheap Accomodation cheap: Camping Zeriba - 2000 DZD room Hassi Messoud, hotel Petrolier - 1 500 DZD Beni Isguen, Pension Akhar - 2 000 DZD |

Anyone have any comments / suggestions? NB: it also appears we aren't going to Assekrem or Hoggar. Are we missing out by this? Mark |
Its great news that these trips are going ahead again.
But careful about posting such precise details online, especially for trips close to the Libya/Niger border. Safer to tell all afterwards. |

Hoggar and Tefedest are open for tourist now. Best Regards Artur Urbanski |
I think not doing the Assekrem is a shame - just my thoughts. If you're really short on time and a competent driver/rider, it's a 2.5 hour drive each way so can even be done in a day...

Hi all
Got back on Sunday after my trip around Djanet with Torre.pl, led by Artur's wife Madga. This has been my best trip to Algeria and indeed the best trip anywhere for quite some time. Every day of the 2 weeks I spent there I did something special, saw something special and met someone special. I'll put the pictures and videos online as soon as possible. Mark |
