From October 29 to November 1, 2026, Algeria will host a unique event combining travel, adventure, and culture: the Algeria H.O.G.® Tour 2026, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle rally organized by the H.O.G.® Algiers Chapter Algeria.
Over four days, participants will travel nearly 1,580 kilometers from Algiers to Ghardaïa, at the gateway to the Sahara, through the ever-changing landscapes of the High Plateaus to the M’Zab Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Much more than just a gathering of motorcyclists, this motorcycle touring rally offers a true immersion in Algeria, featuring Saharan roads, cultural heritage, and wide-open spaces.
A motorcycle rally organized by the Harley-Davidson community
The Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.®) is a global network created by Harley-Davidson to bring together enthusiasts from around the world. Present in dozens of countries, it now unites more than one million members around a shared culture: the open road, travel, and freedom.
In Algeria, this community is represented by the H.O.G.® Algiers Chapter Algeria, officially accredited since May 15, 2013, under number #8062.
For more than ten years, this club has been organizing motorcycle rides, guided tours, charitable initiatives, and major events such asAlgeria Bike Week, which has become a national institution.
With this Harley-Davidson rally in Algeria, the Chapter is taking a new step: offering a large-scale, organized tour through the southern part of the country.
A motorcycle rally through the sea, mountains, and desert
The route of the 2026 Algeria H.O.G.® Tour was designed as a gradual journey across the country.
From Algiers, participants head south toward Ghardaïa after a ride of approximately 600 kilometers.
This first leg of the motorcycle rally allows riders to gradually transition from the Mediterranean to the arid landscapes of the High Plateaus, before reaching the gateway to the Sahara.
Once there, the rally continues with excursions to El Guerrara, Sebseb, and Tafilalt, before the final return to the capital.

Motorcycle rallies as a new form of tourism in Algeria

Desert roads, mountainous landscapes, long distances, and historical heritage, however, make it an ideal destination for long-distance motorcycle rallies.
The 2026 Algeria H.O.G.® Tour is contributing to this evolution by offering a structured experience where the motorcycle becomes a means of exploring the country.
This type of Harley-Davidson rally in Algeria also helps strengthen the country’s image as a destination for adventure and travel.
