Unfortunately your options for leaving the tarmac in Algeria are extremely limited. Contact a reputable agency and see what they say!

Looks like a great route. As it happens I recently heard that a self-drive group was heading through the northern Grand Erg (route A1 is it?) - with local ops obviously - on a short tour to Hassi M. And I have heard of other tours also heading into the Erg and beyond early next year so it seems slowly (and inevitably) piste access, albeit with guides, is coming back to some areas of Alg.
The more we all ask the more normal it will become - just dont sneak off to fill your car full of pottery bits!

hello, thanks x the answers!
Chris you can suggest a reliable reference to me in Algeria to which asking...?

If you mean a local agency, try Mohamed Haffaoui from In Salah. He has worked with bike tours for many years.
