Sahara

Algeria

Algeria is where it all began: the place where, in 1977, the Spazi d’Avventura adventure first took off. It was here that we organised our first off-road expedition trips, treks and mountaineering routes, aimed at those Italian pioneers eager to discover the ‘Great Desert’ when it was still virtually unknown to tourists. After a hiatus of several years, we are delighted to return to this long-standing destination of ours, offering itineraries that allow you to explore the regions now accessible in complete freedom. Our trips through the Algerian desert take place on foot and by 4×4 between Djanet and Illizi: from the classic trek across the Tassili n’Ajjer, enhanced by the Erg of Admer, to the sandstone and granite hills of the little-known Tasedjebest. These are authentic Saharan experiences, spent alongside the Tuareg and immersed in landscapes of extraordinary beauty, amidst dunes, striking rock formations and one of the richest examples of rock art in the Sahara.
Algeria is an ideal destination both for a first taste of the Sahara and for those wishing to deepen their cultural understanding of the desert.
Don’t miss the chance to extend your trip – or take a dedicated tour – to magnificent Algiers, the ‘White City’, and the stunning Roman sites of Tipasa, Tiddis, Djemila and Timgad, all the way to Constantine, the city of bridges perched on a limestone monolith and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
