No one can hear your phone in the desert… There can be no more beautiful and no more challenging landscape than the Sahara desert in which to forge a long-lasting esprit de corps. Expert Algeria arranges camel treks where clients sleep under the Saharan stars and take tea with the Tuareg.

Less than three hours from London, yet virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, Algiers is one of the Mediterranean’s most mesmerising cities, a captivating mélange of faded French grandeur and neo-Moorish folly crowned by the legendary casbah, North Africa’s last untouched casbah.

The Palace at El Oued presents four-star luxury in the middle of the Sahara, an oasis of tranquility and colour surrounded by sand-dunes – the ideal place to host your conference or to take an unsual relaxing break.
