Algeria historically represents our first ever tourist destination, our ‘starting block’ for an adventure that began in 1977. Here, Spazi d’Avventura proposed the first expedition trips – off-road, trekking, and purely mountaineering – to a select group of Italian travellers eager to explore the ‘Great Desert,’ then largely unknown to tourism. This ‘historic’ destination, after years of hiatus, is being joyfully revisited with new travel solutions that allow for total freedom.
Our trips to the Algerian desert take place on foot and off-road vehicle, on the Tassili n’Ajjer and in the Erg of Admer in the Djanet region and in the mountains of Hoggar, Tefedest and Adrar Ahnet in the Tamanrasset region: a selection of trips that offer travelers the chance to live unique experiences, true Saharan adventures in the company of the Tuareg, nomads of the desert, immersed in the splendid nature of an environment rich in colours, fantasies and mineral wonders, and rich in rock art of the highest level.
A trip to Algeria is an excellent opportunity, not too long and easily accessible, for a first Saharan adventure or for those seeking a deeper cultural immersion after previous Saharan experiences.
Additionally, consider extending your journey or making a separate trip to the magnificent capital of Algiers, the ‘white city,’ and explore the impressive ruins of Roman cities such as Tipasa, Djemila, Timgad, and Lambesis in the mountains, and Constantine, the city of bridges perched on a limestone monolith, all UNESCO World Heritage sites.
