The better way to travel and cheap is Airplane.From Algier to Oran and back price is 5800 DA. From Algier to most touristiuc place town ANNABA is 6500 DA there and back.Taxi, like every taxi around the world. You can find honest but if they not switch taximeter go out and dont say nothing. Ask for taximeter if they dont switch it go out. Cheating like Bush Iran war attack....hahahaha
Sometimes we drove many hours without seeing any vehicle or that something happened.And then very suddenly a big truck appeared behind us and passed our car very fast besides the road with a lot of dust.It was a fascinating sight and the happening of that day of our desert journey.
We saw many signs as warning for crossing camels for days, but didn't see the camels.And than suddenly .... there they are, many camels on the road at a moment that we didn't see a warning sign for hours.
When we were rounding the Grand Erg Occidental we saw regularly the sign that warned for crossing camels.We liked to see those camels, but most of the time we saw only a complete emptiness.Where have all the camels gone?
We travelled with a normal car without 4x4 drive. The roads rounding the Grand Erg Occidental were rather good.At some places were warnings for sanddunes. A few times we had to pass some on the road. During our jouney we had no real problems.
During our trip rounding the Grand Erg Occidental, we travelled by normal car on tarred or gravel roads. If we had a choice we did it in the late afternoon. At the point where we had to choose to go further south to Tamanrasset or return to the north to El Golea was a small place to get tea. So time for a tea-stop before we returned to the north.
If you go offroad in the desert you need a good four wheel drive and a very good driver, who knows the area.From Djanet we were 14 days off road. The second part we visited for 9 days the Tadrart in the most south east corner of Algeria country near the border with Libya and Niger.The most fabulous desert landscape I ever saw. At the picture:Spectacular descent to Moula Naga in the Tadrart.
We flew from Milan to Algiers; from there, by plane, we reached Illizi in the south-east of the country, near the Libyan border (regular daily flights to and from Illizi and Djanet).A short ride by car and we get to the Oued Djerat, the fossil river we were supposed to walk through for five days. And so we did.Then, our cars came back to pick us up to start our ride across dunes and rock pinnacle, in the Tassili n’Ajjer, to Djanet, further south.
this lovely doneky is what people use for their moving around here, before the great europeens sel us the , cars, buses , train &planes , but in fact , we could not adapted with this technologies , maybe this is the main cause of , a lot of traffic accidents in here
Well, when you are hiking through the Sahara, then you use your own two legs! The camels carried all of our backpacks, food, etc. and took a different route than we did. Then we would always meet up with them at the end of the day.On one of the last days, a camel ran off with my backpack. The backpack was hanging from a rope, so the camel dragged it about 2 km before it broke loose. The camel never came back. And my backpack was tough. It was just a little dirty, but not damaged.
