Hi everyone, I’m heading back to Algeria for the fourth time. I’d like to visit Ghardaia. I’ve booked my flight ticket from Oran to Ghardaia, but I read in the latest *Petit Futé* that you need to go through a local travel agency. For the south, I know it’s mandatory, but can anyone give me info about Ghardaia? I’m planning to hire a guide from the hotel where I have my reservation. Thanks!

Hi there, I went solo by motorcycle to the northeast part of Algeria in 2023, specifically to Ghardaia. You’ll only need a guide to visit the old city. Everywhere else, you can go wherever you want. Enjoy your trip! Eric

Hi and thanks for your reply. In the meantime, I found out that if I arrive by plane, the hotel has to send a taxi for me, otherwise I’ll be escorted by the police—for my safety, of course. Up north, I’ve always traveled alone by train or bus without any issues. I leave in 10 days; I can’t wait.
