Camel treks • Algerian Sahara • Departs Algiers airport
Early December 2012 • 15 or 28 days • Cost with internal flight £1600/2400

For late 2012 I'm offering a two- and four-week camel trek in the region north of Tamanrasset (see map, right).

If you like the sound of this, have a look at the previous shorter camel treks I've led, and read the details and the FAQs for this tour (all linked below). This tour is not comparable with Moroccan camel treks which crop up readily on Google. This is the real thing, deep in the heart of the Sahara crewed by real desert nomads, not dudes in a blue cheche and a pair of mobiles.To the best of my knowledge no English-speaking outfit offers anything quite like this so if you're drawn to an immersion in the Sahara lasting a few weeks while travelling in a manner that compliments rather than jars with the natural environment, click the links and read more.

Remember, with camels you walk; they carry the provisions and gear. You do not ride.
