The Tuareg Rally edition 2019 in Algeria was a success.
My experiences were already positive! Beautiful landscape with huge dunes!
What struck me enormously was that all people, including the Police and Customs, were all super friendly !!!
The second bivouac at the foot of The Grand Erg Occidental (also known as the Western Sand Sea) is the second largest in northern Algeria after the Grand Erg Oriental.
It has an area of approximately 78,000 square kilometers. The sand dunes in the erg are formed by the wind, and can be up to 120 meters high.
Certain sickle-shaped dunes, known as barchans, are actually mobile; the wind can push these dunes as much as 20 to 30 m in one year.
Algeria a fantastic country where 30 years ago the Dakar rally still had beautiful stages.
Algeria is approximately 57x larger than the Netherlands and 78x larger than Belgium.
The country borders the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and the coastline is almost 1,000 kilometers long. The country also borders on Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Morocco.
Algeria has a subtropical climate on the coast (mild, wet winters and hot summers).
In northern Algeria (on the coast) it is around 35 ° C in July / August. There is a desert climate in the south of the country.
The desert is the hottest in the month of May; the temperatures can then go up to 55 ° C.
In the month of March, it is ideal for rallying between 20 and 28 grade.
There are two important mountains in Algeria: the Atlas Mountains and the Ahaggar Mountains
The Chéliff River, which flows into the Mediterranean, is the longest river in the country, with a length of 700 kilometers.
The most important oases are: Touggourt Biskra, Chenachane Tin Rerhoh
Algeria is a wonderful country and is therefore an unmissable opportunity to participate in the Tuareg rally 2020.
Algeria Save: ?
In any case I had a very safe feeling, we were escorted by police escort from bivouac to bivouac this not because it is unsafe but because it is so common there with tourists.
Tuareg Rally and the Algerian government have made good agreements so that safety is optimally insured.
Backup of the army and police is insured.
Walking in Paris or London is probably a lot more dangerous than participating in the Tuareg Rally in Algeria !!!
Consept:
You can go best with a service team.
The participants fly to Algiers, the capital of Algeria.
Hence it continues with a domestic flight to the first bivouac.
The service teams go by ferry to Oran and then in convoy to the first bivouac.
There are a limited number of hotel rooms available, but most of the participants will have to sleep in tents.
The bivouacs are always placed in an accommodation with showers and toilets.
For the participants with the EAO team we have provided nice big tents.
Those who register on time can win a hotel room.
