Our Sahara Tour “Back to the Roots” was a great experience for all. But for the ORGA there is only one goal: In the next year a rally El Chott will be organized again – also in the 35th year in Tunisia. Good friends locally, vast dune areas and a short travelling time from Europe speak for themselves.
Getting information about our event El Chott Sahara Tour 2015 “Back to the roots”
Promoter and organizing team of the El Chott invite you to be with us on our Sahara tour; no matter whether for tests and training in the special stages, to reach the daily finish lines once without time pressure, or to see the dreamy landscape not only passing in the side mirror.
For most sections we have Roadbooks. In addition, we offer for Desert newcomers routes which are easier to graduate. For the members of the adventure class, and all those who want to join in, the sights of the country as well as the camps and hotels can be reached on roads and pistes.
So, who wasn’t in the desert already this year, or who wants to fulfill this wish for the first time; in October there is a good possibility.
Accompanied by experienced rally ORGA, top organized and at a reasonable price!
