Can't get an invitation for Algeria
 

I've tried faxes and emails to Zeriba, and emails and phone calls to Tarahist but have had no response at all - no contact with a living soul. Can anyone offer any advice?

Try a travel agency called Tasset, they are very helpful: Tel/Fax: 213-29475469

hi Nick

Many thanks for the suggestions. I seem to be getting somewhere with Tarahist now, but if that dries up I'll try yours.
