Aïn Sefra sits at the edge of the Sahara, and Pony Express reaches it with a dedicated on-board courier who hand-carries your shipment the entire way rather than booking it as ordinary freight. We collect anywhere in the UK and fly on the next suitable service. Pricing is by quote — call 0800 288 4052.

Why choose an on-board courier

An OBC shipment travels with a single dedicated courier from UK collection to hand-delivery, clearing check-in and customs in person. For genuinely urgent freight — where a missed connection or a day in a bonded warehouse is not an option — it is the fastest legitimate route available.

Getting to Aïn Sefra

Known as a gateway to the Sahara at the foot of the Ksour Mountains, Aïn Sefra is a remote destination in Naâma province, western Algeria — the town where the writer Isabelle Eberhardt spent her final years. Our couriers route via Oran and complete the final stretch by road, so we plan realistically for a next-day delivery from UK collection.

What we carry

• AOG and oilfield-support parts
• Legal and financial documents
• Medical equipment and samples
• Prototypes and engineering spares
• Livestock and agricultural trade samples

Customs and clearance

All documentation is prepared before departure, and our courier is on hand in person at Algerian customs, so nothing is left waiting for someone else to process it.
