Anyone heading to Algeria in next few weeks?
 

Hi. We're a couple 2-up on one bike (R100GS) heading across Africa beginning to mid-November. Plenty of experience under belt (9 month trip Cairo to Capetown 1995; round-the-world 1998 to 2002).
Lookng to team up for the Algerian-Sahara stretch with anyone else (bike or car, or camel if they can keep up!) heading through at the same time. Plan on entering Algeria through Tunisia then down to In Salah, Arak, Tam and on to Agadez. Very happy to explore further - only sticking point to all this is absolute necessity (it would seem) for guide and therefore time and cost.
Please, if anyone doing broadly the same and wants to share guide, do get in touch soon and we can set about getting Algerian visas via the agency specified on Chris Scott's Sahara-overland website Algeria section.
Thanks. Can't wait to hear from you. :scooter:

what sort of dates did you have in mind for entering algeria? if my planned dates hold i might be there around mid feb? give or take a fortnight!

Dear Smokin,
Looking at being in Algeria early December '06, so probably well before you but things can always change, will let you know if they do. Thanks for your reply.
