Atar and the surrounding area is regarded as safe. As always keep an ear to the ground, but there is no cause for worry.

to Atar
Hi Maurice
I will be in RIM around the second week i jan in a LR 110 td5.
In practice there are only two turist routes, along the railway and down south from Chooum og the tarred road to Nouakchott and from there to Atar (asy driving). Done both. I think I will go along railroad, best with min. two cars. Done it alone with a local guide.
The piste You mention is not possible.
For futher info contact me by pm 
Regard
Grove

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.
