Thanks for the reviewed information

This is the info that I received from the tourism agency in Algeria:

“closed for tourism are actually:
- Erg Oriental
- Erg Issaouane, Erg Tiffernine
- The Amguid region and piste Amguid-Bordj Omar Driss and the direct
Amguid-Illizi piste
- The Oued Tahaft piste
- Erg heche requires an extra permit

Generally speaking, south of Illizi resp. In Salah you are almost free.”
