I never felt unsafe at any moment, but I stayed on the main road in the Western Sahara which is secured by army and there's a lot of check points.
Before going to Atar, I checked if the region was safe and it was.
I didn't get close to algerian or malian border.
I use to walk a lot in cities and even in the most "popular" parts I never been worried or felt hostility.
On the contrary, there was always somebody to help or just joining to talk by curiosity about the trip or the bike.
