"Algeria - across the Sahara from south to north" Algeria by tini58de

Algeria Travel Guide: 1,145 reviews and 2,995 photos

This was part of a trip that took us from Senegal via Mali through Algeria to Tunesia. Thus we crossed the Sahara desert from South to North - for me it was a true experience!

We travelled with a "Dachzeltbus" = Roof-Tent-Bus, a bus, that has tents on top of the bus!!!
Very unique and very much fun!

If you like to see more of fun vehicles, please have a look at my travellogue "Vehicles of the World" -
the theme of my 2000 calendar.

Sahara Desert looks very hot but also very interesting!

What a great adventure, to cross the Sahara from South to North and sleep in a Dachzeltbus! Lovely photos and a stern warning about the "desert traffic".

Hoggar is one of my dream-destinations ! Unfortunately the whole region is rather unsafe now... aber Lust auf so einen Dachbus habe ich jedenfalls bekommen !! Auch Dir schöne Weihnachten !!

I have very good memories of the Algerian sahara crossing! But I wonder whether it is safe again these days?! Thanks for sharing Christine!
