Visiter la Cité des Morts au Caire
Bonjour ,

Peut-on visiter la Cité des Morts ( site classé UNESCO ) seuls ou bien un guide est-il indispensable ?

Si un guide est conseillé , est-il facile d'en trouver un sur place ?

Is the Palmeraie of Skoura worth a visit?
On our 17-day road trip with a rental car starting from Ouarzazate toward the southern oases, we’ll make our first stop to visit the Kasbah Amridil in Skoura. Is the palmeraie really worth it? How should we visit it? Where should we start from? How much time should we spend—just a casual walk or with a guide? From our hotel? And roughly how much does it cost? Thanks for your tips!

Can you swim in Hurghada at the end of December?
Hi there,

Is it pleasant to swim near Hurghada at the end of December? (It doesn’t seem very warm, but I’d love to hear personal opinions.)

Also, are there any free beaches with both nice sandy areas for swimming and coral reefs for snorkeling?

I’m looking for Airbnb-style accommodation on a tight budget for my family, so I can’t rely on a high-end hotel with a private beach.

Thanks in advance for your tips and experiences!

What administrative formalities are needed to cross Senegal and Mauritania before entering Morocco?
I haven’t been back to Senegal or Mauritania in a good fifteen years, so I imagine a lot has changed.

My trip starts in Dakar. I’ll head up to Saint-Louis, then cross into Mauritania. Drive to Nouakchott, take the track along the beach and Banc d'Arguin, then Nouadhibou and on to Morocco.

I’m looking for some info on administrative formalities, permits, visas, etc., regarding:

- Crossing the Senegal-Mauritania border at Diama (I’m in a car) - Crossing Banc d'Arguin - Exiting Mauritania at Guerguerat and entering Morocco

Thanks for any tips...
