I travelled twice to Algeria.

In 1993 we rounded the Big Western Erg ( Ain Sefra, Beni- Abbes, Timimoun, El Golea, Ghardaia).
Beautifull oasis-towns and sanddunes

In dec 2001/jan 2002 I visited Djanet and Tassili d'Ajjer.
Breathtaking landscape and interesting rock paintings.

Last visit to Algeria: Jan 2002

Wow! You really have seen and experienced a lot of Algeria! I loved that doorway in Bou Saada with its 'azulejo' tiles. It would be amazing to see those huge sand dunes and to experience the Sahara like you did!
