SECURITY OF THE ROUTE
All year round, the organisers work in close collaboration with the various algerian authorities and the Algerian Federation of Mechanical Sports (FASM).
Before even doing the recees for the route, the maps of the detailed projects for the rally route is submitted for approval of the authorities and territorial collectivities of the countries crossed.
Once their authorisation given, they are informed of the planning for the recees of the organisation team who, once there, make the most to meet the representant of each region to adjust, if needed, the route.
Once the rally started, the various authorities deploy their security staff, police or army, to secure not only the bivouac but also the roads. A daily recap of vehicles and people on the bivouac is done.
