Hi,
I was in Algeria for 2 weeks in March/April this year for a quick trip by 4x4 to Tessalit and then back home by plane from Tam.
I had no problems, noticable security measures were about the same I knew from 2003.
No agressions or thelike. Checkpoints were passed quickly except the first at the Gendarmerie at Taleb Larbi.
The weekend I returned from Algeria by plane they were the bombings in Algier.

Algeria 2007
If Feb. 2007 is recently , we made a very nice trip in Algeria : from Taleb Larbi to Djanet and In Guezzam .
No problem ; Controls were almost easy ( except in Zaoutenlaz : waiting for 1 hour due to problem with the papers of our guide , I think )
Have a nice trip .
RR.

Algerie
Hi!
In the beginning of April I arrived to Algerie, through Agadez, Niger, and travelled from Guazam to Tamanrasset, to Djanet (pist - a great experience) - crossed back west (also pist) and followed the Old Hoggar Route, up to In Salah - Ghardaia, and excit through El Oued.
Its a fantastic diversed country, and the people were really good.
- Thank you everybody in North Africa who made my (mostly) solo journey with a "moto" possible and memorable.
Ps. Not to forget the Irish brothers in a Discovery who carried my much needed extra fuel in the Sahara. Thanks.
Cheers
Haakon

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
