Testimonials

Some kind words from our clients.

Wanted to emphasise that I enjoyed last years‘ trip enormously. It was extremely well organised by you and your team. I was amazed by the variety found in Algeria and believe I have to return to see more at some point in time. Please do pass on greetings to my guide Soumia and driver Mohammed as well as the colourful character in Ghardaia who was about to get married. TAM was an experience as well. Greetings to the owner of Mouflon- I must admit that I forgot his name- and his kind wife who invited me to her house. Everybody was so friendly.

Rob and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our travels in Algeria.  Both Azzedine and Mustafa were excellent.  Azzedine was efficient, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble.  Mustafa, too, could not have been more helpful and did a superb job of looking after us.  All the hotels in which we stayed met our expectations.  We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Algeria and your company to others.

Jane & Rob

I am deeply indebted to my friend Ahcicene Segouini, who hasn’t only taken exemplary care of my tour groups through his company but also, at his expense, facilitated this journey. I was driven skilfully and with good humor over a very large distances by Mustapha Gueraini and was accompanied for the much of the time by Abdelkader Bensalah, who I have also long counted as a friend and whose acquaintance with antiquities staff through the country greatly facilitated my task.

Dr Philip Kenrick

Algeria deserves more visitors, though I feel truly humbled to have explored the country through clear lenses and with a clear mind, and without a ruinous tourist bustle. A special thanks to my guides; Islem, Brahim, Kasim, and of course Mhamed who went above and beyond. My best wishes to them all.

I want to thank you and Rafik and the Algerian team for an excellent tour of Algeria. It was full enough, measured, and focused on visits that allowed learning about the country’s history. Rafik was so thoughtful about tailoring the trip to my wishes.

As I told Mohammed, I would like to come back to Algeria when the Coronavirus impact has largely disappeared. I plan to bring my girl friend with me which means staying in a hotels like the Lamaraz Arts! Thanks again for your work. The result was very good; and I look forward to our next visit.

Since Sudan’s division in 2011, Algeria has been elevated to the position of Africa’s largest country, with some 80% of it covered by the sands of the Sahara. Without doubt its most striking feature, the desert is what draws many travellers to the country, but Algeria has so much more to offer the inquisitive and the adventurous alike. From its striking Mediterranean coastline to the spectacular mountains of the Fezzan, the landscape is awash with desert lakes and sand seas, archaeological treasures and a rich cultural heritage that makes it one of the most fascinating countries in North Africa.

Little known in the UK, Algeria is just ripe for discovery. Its northern landscapes once echoed to the sound of Phoenicians ships and Roman boots and the architectural reminders of those once mighty empires lie scattered across the desert vistas.

The architecture is a particular highlight of any visit to the country, with the ancient Roman ruins at Djemila providing a particularly fine example of its rich historical pedigree. Then there is Algiers, the country’s bustling, whitewashed capital, whose captivating Medina offers up an intriguing contrast with the modern city that surrounds it. And never far away lies the magic of the vast, empty Sahara - nine million square kilometres of legend, myth and adventure.

Oases & Sahara Tour

This was one of the best trips our family ever had. Algeria is a magical country, so rich in culture, history, natural wonders and amazing people. The contrast between the coast, its capital town of Algiers and the Sahara with its distinct oasis couldn't be more stunning. We enjoyed travelling by car as this allowed us to make many stops, engage with the people and understand the vastness of this country. Staying at different local charming guesthouses enhanced this experience. Each oasis is unique and worthwhile to spend as much time as possible to explore it. The absolute high of our trip was spending one night in a desert camp, surrounded by sand dunes and camels. Our lovely guide cooked dinner for us over the open fire, made bread using their traditional method and telling us Bedouin stories whilst sitting around the camp fire. The whole trip was organised to perfection, every little detail was taken care of. We can highly recommend this tour.

The Tuareg people (also spelled Touareg or Tuareg- Imuhagh) are a nation of nomadic pastoralists who are the primary inhabitants of the Saharan interior of North Africa. They refer to themselves in various ways, including Kel Tamasheq or Kel Tamajaq (which means "Speakers of Tamasheq"), Imuhagh or Tamahak Imashaghen (which means "free people"), and Kel Tagelmust, which translates to "People of the veil." The Tuareg language is Tamajaq/Tamasheq/Tamahak, and their writing system is Tifinagh.

Tuareg art takes many forms, including jewelry, leatherwork, and metal saddle decorations known as Trik, as well as finely crafted swords. The Inadan community is known for their traditional handicrafts, including the famous "Cross of Agadez." Tuareg jewelry includes the Takoba, a type of sword- shaped necklace made from gold or silver, and the Takaza, a necklace with intricate gold and silver patterns. Earrings are also an important part of Tuareg jewelry, with the Tizabaten being a popular style.

TOUAREG TEA:

“When travelling, take two bags: one to give the other to receive” (Tuareg proverb).

I always want and always share my culture with the world, as I also hope that you let us share yours. At each camp, the inevitable "Desert Tea" will be during these exchanges.

EACH GUEST AT THE CEREMONY MUST DRINK THREE GLASSES::

The first glass is bitter as death

the second is sweet as life

the last one is sweet as love.

For us, the Tuaregs it will not so much the content of the glass that important, but the quality of the conversation taking place around the fire.

Dear good visitor and friend,

“The Sahara is the man without God …

God made the country full of water so that men live and the desert to find their soul “ Tuareg proverb.
