J'aimerais entreprendre un voyage en moto depuis la belgique vers l'Algérie durant les vacances d'été. Je suis à la recherche de la solution la moins couteuse. Soit au départ de l'Espagne ou de la france. Les prix au départ de Marseille sont chers durant cette période. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Merci. Yleor.
Merci Riad, c'est exactement ce que je vais faire, j'ai réservé mon billet pour Alicante-Oran. Peux-tu me dire le nombre de kilométre qu'il y a entre Oran et Alger ?

Ok pour un contact éventuel, mais alors dis-moi comment se contacter une fois à Alger. Mon voyage doit me conduire dans la région de Tizi ouzou, dans un petit village situé sur le Djurdjura du coté de Ouacif. J'adore l'Algérie, mon coeur et ma tête y sont toujours depuis que j'ai découvert ce pays et ses habitants en 2003. J'ai ai été dix fois depuis l'été 2003. J'y étais encore en janvier. Alger est une belle ville et les Algérois que j'ai rencontré savent s'amuser.
SALUT, super comme voyage sur tout en kabylie je ne presente yann de paris motard, je recherche des motards pour l'algerie pour juillet 2008 en moto bien sur je connais tres bien l'algerie car j'ai vecu en kabylie a bientot
Avant de faire des projets pour l'Algérie en Moto en juillet 2008, il me faut vivre un premier voyage cet été. Je pars seul, ce sera l'aventure mais une fois en Kabylie, je rejoins ma famille et un peu de mes racines, mon père était algérien. Puisque tu habites Paris, il possible que nous puissions descendre dans le sud de la France en 2008 puisque de Charleroi (belgique), il me faut passer à proximité de Paris pour me rendre à Alicante. A+
rebonjour
moi aussi mon est kabyle a tizi ouzou ( boghni) depuis 1990 j'ai pas mis les pieds là bas, c'est sympa charleroi si tu passes a paris on pourras prendre un café ensemble si tu veux
Salut, Yleor.
D'abord, je dois te dire que c'est ton annonce qui a motivé mon inscription à Vf.J'ai lu en effet que tu projetais de venir ici en Algérie et je voulais te proposer un marché .Mais d'abord, je dois savoir si tu l'as déjà fait et le cas échéant, si tu as l'intention d'aller vers le Sud.
Je suis venu en Algérie comme prévu mais je n'ai pas oser venir en moto parce que c'est trop dangereux pour un premier voyage aussi long de plus il n'y a pas de concessionnaire BMW en Algérie. Ce sera peut être pour une autre fois. En attendant, je compte retourner l'année prochaine en Algérie, cette fois je devrais venir en voiture. Puisque tu es de Tigzirt, sache que je m'y suis rendu à plusieurs reprises. La mer est très belle et le poisson est frais. Bien à toi.
Cher Yleor,
je suis très heureux que tu aies fait ce voyage et je le suis d'autant plus, que tu aies visité la belle région de Tigzirt. Dommage qu'on ne se connaissait pas, sinon je t'aurais invité à un plat de couscous garni(bérbère, s'il te plaît!)En fait, je voulais te proposer gîte et repos avec visite de la région, en échange d'une place avec toi vers le Sud sur ta moto(va savoir pourquoi je me suis mis dans la tête que tu devais aller vers le Sud!).
Il faut que je te dise que je suis fou des motos(bien que je n'en aie jamais possédé, à part les petites cylindrées) et mon rêve d'enfance(et de toujours) est de visiter, de préférence avec ma propre moto que j'achèterai peut-être un jour, ce Sud féerique, fascinant, sauvage et encore vierge et qui m'attire comme un papillon l'est par la lumière.J'y suis déjà allé, mais par autocar.
Voilà, cher Yleor, la petite histoire.
En tout cas, si tu repasses un jour par Tigzirt, fais-le moi savoir, ton couscous t'attend!
je comprends ton envie et en même temps ta déception. Je me rends régulièrement en Algérie, je sais le pays très vaste et très beau. Mon rêve serait de venir au pays en moto et aussi de découvrir le sud. Je pense que l'été c'est trop chaud. Impossible de faire le trajet à deux sur la moto. L'idéal c'est de conduire chacun sa moto. Mais je connais le problème Algérien au sujet des motos, autant dire qu'il n'y en a pas. Je comprends ton amour pour la moto parce que je le partage mais je ne peux malheureusement rien faire pour toi. Je possède une BMW, une R1200 GS. C'est une très belle et très bonne moto, un modèle idéal pour l'ALgérie, j'ai même acheté ce modèle en esperant voyager un jour en Algérie. Je ne sais pas si je pourrai réaliser ce rêve avec ma moto. Les BMW sont de très bonnes motos, à mes yeux et pour ce que je connais des motos, les meilleurs dans le style Trail. Je sais qu'il est pratiquement impossible d'acheter une bonne moto en Algérie, surtout une nouvelle. A la limite, je te le déconseille, trop d'électronique et pas l'outillage nécessaire pour l'entretient. Par contre, je sais aussi, qu'il y a de vielle BMW en Algérie. Si tu t'y connais en mécanique, je pense que l'investissement est plus intéressant que les petites motos chinoises qui ne valent rien. J'ai discuté ces vacances avec un type qui vendait des motos à Tizi, il prétendait qu'on pouvait trouver toutes les pièces en occasion. Bien sûr, il faut des connaissances en mécanique et un peu de patience pour trouver son bonheur. Il y a aussi les anciennes BMW de la police mais là il faut avoir des connaissances qui peuvent t'aider pour l'acquérir. Impossible d'acheter une moto qui vient d'europe, trop cher compte tenu du coût de la vie en Algérie. Il faudra que je pense au couscous la prochaine fois que je viendrai.
je viens juste de recevoir ton message et tu ne peux imaginer le plaisir que j'ai pris à le lire . Cela a ravivé ma flamme(du désert et des voyages) et m'a redonné espoir, l'espoir de pouvoir réaliser ce foutu rêve(pardon Tam, Djanet, Ghard, Timi...et j'en passe).et qui sait, on le fera peut-être, un jour et ensemble, ce circuit...
Ar thimlilith?
Je suis egalement de paris et j'aimerai me joindre en juillet a cette aventure mais je ne dispose que d'un scooter 50 cc en Algerie, ca risque d'etre chaud je suppose ?
Avez vous defini le parcours et quelle ville traverser ?
"When I saw the Hoggar Mountains, my jaw dropped. If you think of Bryce, or Canyonlands National Park, you're close, but the Hoggar Mountains are more spectacular." David Ball, Empire of sands
moi je suis de paris 14, c'est vrai avec un 50cc tu peux rien faire, mon parcours alger, boghni a tizi, bejaia, jijel constantine etc
voila bonne journée
Quel type de moto compte tu utiliser pour ce parcours ?
C'est juste du parcours sur grands axes routiers ou y'a aussi du parcours sur sentiers et chemins de terre ?
Combien de jours pour faire ce parcours et a tu déja fais des parcours moto en algérie ?
Comment s'organise les pauses et dort on dans les hotels à chaque arrivée dans une ville ou plutot en pleine air avec des tentes personnelles ?

bsr
oui il faut un trail là bas, non juste des grands axes routiers, le temps il faut une quinzaines de jours, oui j'ai déjà fait des parcours en algerie plus le sud bien sur
mais aussi la kabylie, plutôt les hôtels plus de sécurité bien sur
a bientôt
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia
made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert
helped sail a boat through the Greek islands
looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals
worked at a street art festival in Morocco
created videos for local associations and projects
worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau
been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip
visas and borders
the Silk Road and Central Asia
riding in China (with or without a motorcycle)
volunteering and service exchanges while traveling
gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️
Hi there! My daughter and I are heading to Malta and I’d love to rent a scooter. Does anyone know any good places to rent from and what the budget would be for a week?
Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉
hi
planning to ride through Rajasthan on a motorcycle in January 2027 and I’d love to hear about the road conditions.
I’ll be riding with a buddy on a Royal Enfield that I’ll rent in Delhi.
Thanks for your tips!
hi there
I’m planning a 3-week motorcycle road trip in Rajasthan, renting a Royal Enfield in Delhi in January 2027.
I’d love to get some tips on a fun itinerary and hear your thoughts on the roads up north.
I’ve ridden a motorcycle in southern India—Kochi to Madurai—about 10 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and I’m all ears for any great tips you’ve got!
Best regards
hi there
I’d like to ride the RN 12 by motorcycle in September.
I’d love to know the main challenges—I ride a 300cc and do enduro in France.
Thanks for your tips!
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences.
Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike.
Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering:
Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*?
Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers,
PA
I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars.
We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month.
We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
In November, we’re planning to do the Ha Giang loop and the RC4 by motorbike without a guide. 😎
We’re looking for a decent place to stay/rent in Ha Giang.
If anyone has any info, we’d be really interested.
Hello! We’re planning a motorcycle trip that will include a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2026.
We’re unsure (still debating) whether we should stay at a hotel on-site and get to the memorial with an Uber (leaving our bikes at the hotel) and book a guided tour, or base ourselves in Kraków and take a tour that includes transport.
One thing’s for sure—we’d prefer a guide in French since we don’t speak English 😅.
Could you share your experiences or advice?
I understand we need to book online rather than on-site.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hello,
Next October we’re planning to ride the Ruta de la Plata by motorcycle—a historic Spanish route that runs from Gijón to Seville, also known as the N630.
Has anyone here already ridden it?
Unfortunately, I’m worried that parts of the N630 may have disappeared or merged with the A66 motorway, forcing us to ride long stretches of highway, which we’d rather avoid.
Thanks in advance for any tips or details about this route!
Hi there!
I’m currently planning a 9-day route starting from Marrakech with my husband. We land on the morning of June 13th—so soon! 😊
And we’re flying back to France on June 21st at 9 PM!
We’ve rented two Royal Enfield 450s.
This is our first motorcycle trip in Morocco. I got my license two years ago with the dream of taking this kind of trip, and here we are! ✌️😍
In France, we usually ride between 300 to 400 km per day on roadsters. We’re not used to off-road tracks, so we’re looking for easy ones 😅—especially for me 😅.
For Morocco, I’ve planned stages of 200 to 300 km per day.
Here’s the idea:
Day 1 (departure at noon): Marrakech - Tizi n Test - Tafingoult (165 km - 4h15)
Day 2: Tafingoult - Amzarkou - Telouet (200 km - 4h34)
Day 3: Telouet - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (200 km - 3h30) (+ Vallée des Roses maybe)
Day 4: Boumalne - Dades Gorges - Agoudal - Todra Gorges - Tinghir - Goulmima (291 km - 6h)
Day 5: Goulmima - Midelt - Cirque Jaffar - Agoudim (280 km - 4h45)
Day 6: Agoudim - Imilchil - Aghbala - El Ksiba (280 km - 4h45)
Day 7: El Ksiba - La Cathédrale - Zaouiat Ahansal (212 km - 4h20)
Day 8: Ahansal - Ouzoud Waterfalls via R 302 (188 km - 4h22)
Day 9: Ouzoud - Marrakech (160 km - 2h43)
End of the trip 😮.
What do you think?
We haven’t booked any hotels—is that a problem? We were thinking of deciding day by day based on our progress.
Can we take our helmets with us in the cabin, or should we pack them in the checked luggage surrounded by clothes to avoid damage?
Hey there, fellow riders,
I’m really keen on a motorcycle trip to Morocco, specifically the Middle Atlas. Does anyone have any info or tips on this idea? Planning to go in September or October...
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Christine
