Ain Sefra, Algeria - Headquarters of the African Hunters
The Headquarters of the African Hunters at Ain Sefra, Algeria. The town is called " The Gateway to the Desert" and is very close to the Moroccan border. Ain Sefra is perhaps best known for the Russian adventurer and writer Isabella Eberhardt who is now buried here. While it may be difficult to imagine when looking out over the dry, hot sands of the desert, this adventuresome lady died in a flash flood in 1904. She traveled all around the Algerian Sahara on horseback and converted to Islam. She even dressed as a man and adopted an Islamic name to make getting about easier. Unfortunately no person can predict the future and Eberhardt lost her life at the young age of 27. Still, her legend lives on as one of the greatest female explorers of North Africa

EDITORS COMMENTS
Ain Sefra, Algeria: The Headquarters of the African Hunters at the Gateway to the Desert Ain Sefra, a small town nestled in the heart of the Algerian Sahara, is a place of rich history and adventure. Known as "The Gateway to the Desert," Ain Sefra is situated near the Moroccan border and offers a stark contrast to the lush greenery often associated with Algeria. The town's arid landscape and extreme temperatures make it a challenging yet captivating destination. One of the most intriguing figures connected to Ain Sefra is Isabella Eberhardt, a Russian adventurer and writer who made this desert town her home. Born in 1877, Eberhardt is best known for her daring exploits in the Algerian Sahara. She traveled extensively on horseback, converted to Islam, and even adopted an Islamic name to blend in with the locals. Her adventures have left an indelible mark on the history of North Africa. Despite the harsh desert conditions, the balcony of the African Hunters' Headquarters in Ain Sefra offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The headquarters, which functioned as barracks for the African Hunters, were once a hub of activity for the adventurous souls who sought to explore the vast expanse of the Sahara. Eberhardt's legend lives on, and it is hard to imagine the danger and excitement she experienced while living in this seemingly desolate town. Tragically, her life was cut short when she lost her life in a flash flood at the young age of 27. Today, Ain Sefra stands as a testament to the adventurous spirit of Isabella Eberhardt and the many other intrepid explorers who dared to venture into the heart of the Algerian desert. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the historical significance and raw beauty of Ain Sefra and the African Hunters' Headquarters. The image invites us to explore the rich history and adventure that awaits us in this fascinating corner of North Africa.
