Hello guys,

I did the trip of 10 days with my car, from north east of the coast, then have stayed some days in the south of the Aures mountains and finish in Ghardaia.
Sleeping in hotels and some days asked nice people to sleep in their houses ( no problem).
About visas i think you need to have an invitation, i know there is a a french agency "horizon nomades" wich makes some trip in the north, no guide is needed for the north but you should ride in the principal roads.
Peaple should know that Algeria is not only desert.

Thanks KTM for your reply, it sounds very interesting to me.
I have another question: how did you entered in Algeria: Tunisian border, Ferry from France?
And also, what is your nationality, because it seems to me you hadn't a visa for this trip, I'm wrong?

Hello Friends,

I want to cross the border from Tunisia with Algeria at the end of August 2012. I want to leave Algeria from Oran to Spain by Ferry. I want to stay for something like 2 or 3 months in Algeria. I want to spent a lot of time in Algeria. I'm Dutch, so i need an Visa. But i am looking for information for best places to stay and concerning the ACTUAL security. For this reason i'm looking for people who traveled RECENTLY in Algeria on an Motorcycle.

Who can help me?

Maybe we can meet to!

Bye,

Guus
