Testimonials

Some kind words.

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.

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.

Some Words From Eli

Where did the name faster horses come from.

The story behind how The Faster Horses got their name is one of my favorite tales to tell. The boys and I had been having trouble deciding on what the band name should be for a few years up until this monumental event.

We had just finished up a show at a big college HonkyTonk in northern Iowa, I’ll never forget that show, it was the first time my Lead Guitar Player at the time or I had ever crowd Surfed. We rock the house that night. So naturally, after the show my old man had bought the band a round of shots to celebrate jobs well done.

As he held up his glass, he said:

“In the words of your late grandfather, Larry Elmo Alger, “cheers boys, here’s to FASTER HORSES!”…”

I immediately questioned “Did he really used to say that?!”. When Dad said “oh ya”, I exclaimed, a tad emotionally, “boys! that’s the band name… we are The Faster Horses”.

It was unanimous.

Long story short, these roots run deep.
