Sense of humor. We will keep you updated! It was a scouting trip during which we covered as much ground as possible, logging all exciting locations for a future tour. Shortly after our visit, the Arab Spring which turned out to be an Arab Winter happened; the rest is history.
Our travels in the Sahara of North Africa are among our top 10 best wilderness experiences, so for the past 14 years, we have been eyeing the situation in Algeria, ready to go back. Well, we did just that. End of , we returned from our second scouting tour in Algeria, which was even better than the first time. And in November we are taking our first guests there. When you think of the Sahara, you probably think of an endless sea of dunes.
While many places in the Sahara look like that, it is much more diverse. Each region has its distinctive look. Most areas we love have a magical mix of sand and rocks. Since the Earth was created 6, years ago, erosion has shaped countless rock formations into the most incredible sculptures, from forests of rock pinnacles to giant monoliths and natural rock arches around every corner.
If you ever want to enjoy the experience of walking on the surface of another planet, this is as close as you will get. Unless you get abducted by aliens. Otherworldly would be the best way to describe many of the vistas on this tour. To make it even better, we have decided to spend considerable time in a region that is extremely remote and very seldomly visited by Western tourists. There are no roads, villages, or people β nothing but sand and rocks for as far as you can see.
This is a real adventure, and as such, it requires a positive, flexible, and adventurous mindset. You know us, so you understand that we will do our utmost to make everything as comfortable and efficient as possible. If you can handle that, you will be blown away by the experience.
