Why we created this trip

We created this route for those who like to understand a country from the saddle, letting the landscapes change kilometre after kilometre. From the Mediterranean to the highlands and the gates of the Sahara, the itinerary links Oran, Tlemcen, Aïn Sefra, Brézina, Djelfa, Bousaâda and Algiers. The motorbike is not just a means of transport: it becomes the way to read western Algeria through the road.

Trip highlights

Arrive in Algeria with your motorbike by ferry into Oran and leave by ferry from Algiers.
Tlemcen, Ain Sefra, Brezina, Djelfa and Bousaada: a crossing of the West that changes relief almost every day.
Small groups of riders, a road rhythm and cultural stages selected along the way.
A final arrival in Algiers after several days of riding through the country's interior.
