The 4×4 trip to Algeria started in Mostaganem, from where the enthusiastic Territori4x4 adventurous group headed towards Djanet, in the province of Illizi.
Next, they crossed the stunning Tadrart desert in the Tassili n’Ajjer National Park, to reach Tin Merzouga, where they conquered the famous dunes. The 4×4 trip to Algeria, continued along the Erg Admer, leaving the Tadrart region, where they visited the black dunes and the enigmatic “crying cow”. The queen stage was the return to Illizi via a white road in the middle of the Algerian desert, with unforgettable landscapes that left a lasting impression on travelers.
Throughout the trip, participants enjoyed activities such as searching for cave paintings and ancient engravings, admiring natural stone arches, and exploring curious rock formations such as the “camel” and the “rock of Africa.” The interaction with the local population taught them the value of time and what really matters in life, something that marked all the members of the group.
Travelers stayed in the best hotels available in Algeria, as well as free camps at strategic points, waking up to spectacular views that are priceless. The local food, especially the chicken and lamb skewers, was a real delight for the palate.
An interesting activity took place every night during the camps. After dinner, the group gathered around a campfire and shared games and laughter under the starry sky.
The highlight of the trip, according to the participants, was the opportunity to see the Tassilis of Algeria, the natural stone arches and the route from Djanet to Illizi through a white track between the dunes passing through Tifernine. These unique and exciting experiences made this 16-day Algeria trip unforgettable for all members of the group.
