Some of the es**rt officers let me stop for photos. These guys even seem excited that I like the scenery. After hundreds of km's on the N6 through flat desert, we finally took a left turn at the Benzireg military checkpoint and met this stunning scenery of black rocks and thin layers of limestone! Now heading to Taghit and the Grand Erg Occidental!

I love it when you meet people again. I met Hassan on the ferry to Algeria. He is Algerian from Béchar riding his Transalp during his vacation.

How incredible to even stand here. Still 800 km to Tindouf, but this road sign hits differently!

I managed to make the Gendarmes take me on a little detour to the oasis of Tiout - before we continued south to Taghit.

It's pretty and clean but quite dry this time of year!

After an eventful walk with a surprise horse ride through Ain Séfra, I made it to the top of the dunes.

Standing there watching the strong wind pull long streams of sand across the desert like something alive - it was easy to understand why locals here speak of the spirit Lalla Bent El Maleh, the little desert girl who guards these dunes and travels with the wind. In that moment it felt like she was right there in the wind.

And just then a child appeared on the ridge!

I found my way back down again and was invited for dinner by the understanding tourist police officer.

I think I might be a diva!!! 😂

Ain Séfra is spectacular! Atlas mountains on one side and the very start of the big Grand Erg Occidental on the other side! A flood through the middle separating the old town and the new town. In 2000 a raging flash flood tore through the town demolishing many houses and killing the legend and swiss writer Isabella Eberhardt who lived a big part of her life in Algeria.

Algerians are horse people! Through centuries and different dynasties horses have been a pivotal part of living and protecting land. Algerians are proud of their well kept horses and use colorful decorated bridles and saddles.

In my newly acquired freedom to walk without an es**rt in Ain Séfra I met three equestrians on their way to their stable.

I asked if I could take a photo and before I knew it I was riding on horseback into the dry riverbed towards the sunset!

Am I dreaming? ♥️🐎🇩🇿

When an unes**rted walk through the streets of Ain Séfra leads to a ride into the sunset! ♥️🐎🇩🇿

I have arrived at "The Gateway to Sahara" as the town of Ain Séfra is called. Located in the Ksour mountains, part of the Atlas mountains Ain Séfra. It's located right next to a sea of sand - called an Erg.

Having the motorcycle es**rt towards Ain Séfra was a really refreshing change that I needed.

The es**rt hinders my normal travel rhythm. I usually stop a lot. I buy local produce, I speak to the local farmers and goat herders and I take a lot of photos. This is difficult when you are surrounded by officers. If we stop, the locals talk to the officers not to me - I don't get the chance to interact. Often it's just an act of kindness from the officers. They order the coffee and the lunch for me. They even want to put me in the secluded women's section at the diners - out of respect for me. I refuse that part though.
It all frustrates me - I didn't come to Algeria to just see the asphalt and the back of a Gendarmerie vehicle.

On the positive note, the distances are big and the es**rt forces me to push on which means I arrive at a decent time at my accommodation and not super late as I tend to.

I guess I just struggle being hindered from making my own decisions at all times. It goes against my love for freedom in all aspects of my life and against the point of traveling solo.

But, I chose to come here so I need to make the best of it.
