Bonjour tlm, c'est la premiere fois que je lance une discussion, je voudrais savoir pourquoi quand en fait un voyage en thailande, on a hate d'y retourner? entre () je le sais mais je veux avoir vos opinions, est-ce pour: les plages? les gens souriants? le travail minicieux pour n'importe quelle taches? pour la politesse? la simplicité? la facilité des transport? la file d'attente devant le metro (je suis tunisenne🤪, le metro a l'heure de pointe ca ressemble a une boite a sardine 😛 ?

Alors et vous????? 😛

Bonjour, je suis étudiante en enseignement primaire et éducation préscolaire et j'habite Montréal (Québec). J'ai la chance d'avoir été sélectionné pour effectuer un stage à l'étranger n'importe où dans le monde, et cela se fera du mois de mars jusqu'à juin. Je suis encore indécise sur mon pays d'accueil... et j'hésite beaucoup entre le Burkina Faso et la Tunisie. En effet, ce serait 2 stages complétement différents... mais j'avoue que la Tunisie me tente énormémement. J'ai réussi à avoir un contact très intéressant avec un enseignant qui habite la ville de Douz en Tunisie. Par contre, j'ai beaucoup de difficulté à avoir de l'information sur cette ville... ou plutôt village.... j'en ai aucune idée. Je sais qu'on la surnomme "les portes du désert" et WOW!! cela me fascine vraiment. Voilà...!! J'aimerais bien avoir plus d'informations sur cette ville, mais aussi sur ce que je devrais savoir... surtout en ce qui attrait l'éducation. Est-ce que vous me conseillé de faire un stage dans une école primaire à Douz. Est-ce que c'est un bel endroit à visiter (bien sûr!!!)... De toute évidence, je vais là-bas dans le cadre d'un stage... mais je veux aussi voir du pays... et en profiter au maximum. J'aimerais bien aller plus au nord de la Tunisie... puisque je sais que c'est un endroit vraiment beau à visiter... Je me demandais si c'était facilement voyageable de Douz à Tunis, par exemple.

Enfin... toutes informations sont bonnes pour moi... Je veus seulement en connaître plus sur ce pays. Que ce soit au niveau de l'enseignement, de la sécurité, des conseils préventifs, des endroits à visiter.... Enfin.. tout m'intéresse... Si vous avez des sites internet avec plus d'informations à me conseiller.. n'hésitez-pas!!

Ce que je veux en fait... c'est d'être plus informé sur le pays... En effet, je pars pour 3 mois et demi... et peut-être même seule... pensez-vous que c'est sécuritaire pour moi?? Sachez-que j'habiterez dans une famille...!! C'est toujours plus sécuritaire...enfin!! Je crois!

Bref.. j'attends de vos nouvelles... peu importe la personne qui serait intéressée à m'en parler davantage... Je suis toute oui!!

Merci beaucoup

;)

🙂Quelle est votre langue préférée (sauf le français) et la langue que vous n'aimez pas?

mercccccci de vos réponses!😎

Comme plusieurs personnes m'ont demandé le recit de mon voyage en mauritanie avec mon ami et president de l'assos je vous en livre une toute petite partie:

Journal du voyage en Mauritanie Jeudi 09 Septembre 2004 : Départ

Le réveil sonne vers 8h30, une courte très courte nuit vient de se présenter à nous. En effet, nous n’avons pas encore nos visas nous ne savons pas si nous partons aujourd’hui…L’attente est longue en espérant le coup de téléphone magique qui nous délivrerai de notre stress. 9h30….10h30… toujours rien. Nous décidons donc de se rejoindre à l’agence en espérant recevoir les visas avant le départ prévu à 13h45 à l’aéroport de Marseille.

Vers 11h, nous commençons à désespérer quand une camionnette blanche, toute anodine, nous apporte nos trésors….enfin… la délivrance.

Arrivés à l’aéroport, l’esprit est beaucoup plus libéré qu’au réveil… nous partons vraiment pour un projet que l’on espérait depuis plusieurs mois.

Vers 15h, nous sommes à Casablanca, l’attente est une fois de plus très longue pour atteindre Nouakchott mais bon… nous sommes là et c’est l’essentiel.

A peine l’avion posé à Nouakchott, toutes les personnes se précipitent vers la sortie de l’avion et le hangar qui sert d’aéroport international. Etrange…

Nous avons vite compris… d’abord soufflés par le réacteur d’un avion de Tunis air qui venait d’arriver, étouffés par la chaleur oppressante, nous arrivons dans la salle de douane. Petite salle, beaucoup de monde. Les douaniers sont dépassés. Il nous faut remplir un papier permettant l’entrée sur le territoire mauritanien mais il n’y en a plus. Nous devons attendre 45 minutes pour enfin les apercevoir. Passés la douane… maintenant l’épreuve des bagages… Tout le monde est agglutiné autour du tapis roulant, les porteurs marchent dessus : ils l’arrêtent ; les bagages tombent de tous les côtés, les cries fusent, la chaleur augmente…puis une demie heure passant nous apercevons enfin… nos bagages…ouf ! La douane se passe facilement, le douanier nous fouille même pas nos sacs, nous sommes dans le hall un peu perdu. Le temps de ranger nos passeports et notre caméra avait disparu. Si nous la perdons : c’est la fin du projet. Pendant notre recherche, une jeune fille s’approche de nous, c’est Kania qui est venue nous chercher après avoir eu le mail de Fabrice. Par chance, alors que nous cherchions toujours cette camera, nous tombons sur un enfant qui jouait avec … nous sommes soulagés.

Nous arrivons à l’auberge Sahara à Nouakchott, très sympa, convivial. Nous rencontrons d’autres personnes formant une association orientée vers la diffusion de film au Burkina .Après une petite heure de lecture, nous partons se coucher.

Si vous souhaitez la suite il vaudra attendre et etre convaincant dans vos arguments 😛

Hi there, I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for a trip to Algeria, including a few days in Kabylie. Preferably someone of Algerian origin or nationality, aged between 50 and 60. It would be for about a week—we can decide on the dates together. Feel free to DM me.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Norma from Paris

Of Algerian (Kabyle) origin, I feel a very strong pull to return to my roots. As someone who loves traveling in pairs, I’d love to find the perfect partner for this epic journey—a reconnection with my history and, in many ways, with myself...

It's all in the title. Thanks in advance

Hello, I’m heading to Algeria from October 27 to November 16, 2026. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through the process about the accommodation attestation required for the visa application: - Does it need to cover the entire duration of the trip? - Is this document mandatory for a hotel owner to rent a room? - Is it checked during an inspection? - Is a hotel booking (via Booking.com or similar) sufficient to obtain the visa? - If so, does it need to be paid in advance?

I plan to visit several cities and do one or more treks with a guide or agency. I’d appreciate any contacts you could recommend.

Lastly, I’d love to share this trip with a companion (male or female) who’s already done some traveling. Of course, we’d organize the journey together.

Thanks for your feedback! Safe travels to all, Dom, Dijon, 64 years old

Hi there, I have a layover in Algeria. I won’t be leaving the airport. The two tickets aren’t with the same airline. Do I need a transit visa? Thanks for any details and your help!

Salam Aleykoum/Hello everyone

I need help renewing my passport as well as those of my wife and children. I can't reach the consulate for my district (Besançon).

I already have my biometric Algerian passport, but it expired in March 2024. Do I need to provide a 12S form for passport renewal? If so, what documents are required for the 12S?

Thanks for your help

Tuesday, November 18th, flight from Montpellier to Oran and 4 days at Ali’s place in a rented apartment for 8,000 dinars per day. Saturday the 22nd, direct flight from Oran to Ghardaïa for 33 euros, which I booked through Booking since you can’t book domestic Air Algérie flights from France unless you have an Algerian credit card. The only foreigner on board, they asked me three times if everything was okay, if I needed anything... Upon arrival, the police knew, asked where I was staying, I waited for the hostel taxi (Taskift for 8,000 dinars with half-board), they took a photo of his papers, and that was it. Tuesday the 25th, Ghardaïa to Ouargla by minibus for 400 dinars, then a big bus to Biskra for 750 dinars. Night at the brand-new Cristal Hotel for 4,500 dinars. And of course, on the way to the balconies of Ghoufi and the Aurès massif—breathtaking!!! Wednesday the 26th, left too late for Batna, no shared taxis after 3 PM, but my taxi to the bus station handed me off to a minibus driver and asked him to find me a taxi in Batna for Timgad. One call, and it was all set. 250 dinars to Batna and 1,200 dinars to Timgad. It was dark, 1°C, and raining—slippery. Phew, arrived at 6:45 PM. Lovely Trajan Hotel right on the Roman ruins site for 9,000 dinars. Thursday the 27th, Timgad at 9 AM, 5°C, and no more than 8°C expected all day. Gotta bundle up for the visit. Snow on the mountain and a freezing cold wind. That’s the logistics. The euro is at 180 dinars. Thanks to the Algerians for taking such good care of me like a queen—I can’t wait to come back. See you soon

Hi! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Algeria and have a few questions. First, about the visa—none of the consulates near me are answering the phone... So, for hotel reservations, is booking just the first night enough? Can one person handle the paperwork for both of us as a couple?

Next, we’re hoping to do a road trip using public transport—any realistic itinerary ideas for two weeks?

And finally, how did you handle money? I’ve heard you have to declare cash on arrival—how did you manage the exchange? Thanks in advance for your tips, because so far it’s been tough getting answers, and I don’t want to struggle!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a cycling trip in Algeria and looking for concrete firsthand accounts from cyclists who’ve recently traveled there (or residents who know the terrain well). My goal is to map out a realistic 2–4 week itinerary that prioritizes discovery, safety, and solid water/bivouac management.

My profile and gear

Semi-bivouac autonomous cyclist (light tent + sleeping bag + stove), with the option of simple accommodations in towns.

All-road/gravel bike with a rear rack, 40–45 mm tires (I can go up to 47–50 mm if needed).

Compact drivetrain with a small gear range for climbing while loaded.

Modular water capacity of 4–7 liters (soft flasks + bottles), plus a filter and purification tablets as backup.

Navigation via offline maps + GPS, GPX tracks if available.

Planned period

Late winter/early spring (timing to be refined based on your feedback about weather, wind, and day/night temperature swings). I’d love a seasonal breakdown: which areas are more pleasant/rideable during this time? Are there zones to avoid while others become ideal?

Preferred itinerary style

High plateaus and accessible Saharan fringes for a loaded bike, alternating between secondary roads and rideable tracks.

Moderate pace (60–90 km/day depending on terrain and wind), with stops in resource towns to restock, shower, and rest.

Safety and logistics (water/supplies) take priority over pure athletic performance.

My specific questions for those who’ve cycled in Algeria 1) Routes and areas

Which roads/tracks did you enjoy for their scenery and interest without being too rough for a loaded gravel bike?

If you’ve ridden the high plateaus: which connections do you recommend to avoid traffic and stick to small roads?

Saharan fringes: which sections are realistic for partial autonomy (reasonably spaced water points, rideable tracks, not too much soft sand)?

Areas to avoid by bike (recently) due to security, road conditions, katabatic winds, construction, etc.?

2) Water and supplies

How frequent were water points on your routes: reliable wells? taps? sources in towns/villages?

In “desert” sections, how many liters did you carry between secure points? Does a 6–7 L capacity seem comfortable, or should I aim for more on certain stretches?

Food: small shops, markets, availability of basics (semolina, sardines, dates, biscuits, powdered milk, etc.) — how often can you reasonably restock?

Filtration: did a filter + tablets suffice? Are there areas where you’d advise against filtering from unprotected wells?

3) Bivouacking and accommodations

Tolerance for discreet bivouacking (far from dwellings, leave-no-trace): recent experiences?

Simple alternatives: guesthouses, small hotels/hostels, campgrounds (if any), municipal lodgings?

Practical stopover towns for restocking, resting, and securing your bike overnight: reliable spots or neighborhoods to prioritize/avoid?

4) Roads, tracks, and weather

Road surface quality on secondary routes: generally decent or highly variable?

Tracks: rideable (compact gravel, laterite) or sometimes sand/washboard? At what tire width would you recommend switching (45 vs. 50 mm)?

Prevailing winds this season: direction, strength, most exposed hours; do you adjust your departures to ride “before the wind” in the morning?

Temperatures: day/night range; sun protection (long gloves, buff, sunscreen, sunglasses), managing nighttime cold at altitude or in the open desert.

5) Safety, formalities, and connectivity

Recently discouraged zones (please note the date if possible).

Roadside checks: which documents to keep handy; are there specific registrations or declarations required upon arrival or when moving between wilayas?

Local SIM/data: which operators work well on the routes you took; tips for recharging/buying credit.

Useful apps/maps on the ground (and reliable offline maps) for locating water, grocery stores, garages, accommodations, rideable segments, etc.

Bike security: how did you handle anti-theft and parking during errands/overnight stays?

6) Gear and adjustments

Recommended minimum gearing for loaded climbs on local roads/tracks.

Ideal tire width and casing (puncture resistance on gravel and rocks).

“Sweet spot” water capacity based on your experience (and tips: frame bags, extra bottles on the fork, bladders in frame bags, etc.).

Maintenance: dust/sand — greases/seals, drivetrain cleaning frequency, breathable filters, protective socks for zipped panniers.

Sample itinerary outline (to validate with your feedback)

Week 1: Arrival, adjustments, high plateaus, linking resource towns to get into the rhythm, test supplies and water.

Week 2: Accessible Saharan fringes, alternating road/track, nights in discreet bivouac when possible + simple accommodations every 3–4 days.

Week 3–4 (optional): Extend toward a second Saharan area or head back to a more temperate zone depending on weather/wind, prioritizing routes known to cyclists.

If you have GPX tracks (even partial), waypoints (water, grocery stores, accommodations), or a travel journal with dates, I’d love to see them. Dated info (year/month) will help me weigh what may have changed recently.

What I can share in return

After the trip, I’ll publish a detailed report with:

Final itinerary + cleaned GPX tracks,

List of confirmed water points and open supply spots,

Gear review (tires, gearing, water capacity),

Notes on bivouacking/accommodations and safety,

Budget and daily distances, to help future travelers.

Thanks in advance for your tips, warnings, good addresses, and updated feedback. Your experience is invaluable for planning a safe, smooth, and enjoyable cycling route in Algeria. Happy trails! 🚴

🌵 Fancy some desert vibes, simple and authentic experiences?

We’re a group of 3 friends who love wide-open spaces, and we’re putting together a small group (max 10 people – 5 spots left!) for a trek in Djanet.

🌄 No mass tourism here. Just dunes, silence, laughter around the fire, and a human adventure that feels good. If you’re feeling the call of the South, maybe it’s time to answer 😉

Trek in Djanet – Sefar Discover Sefar – The ancient lost city in the heart of the Tassili n’Ajjer: bivouacs, rock paintings, dunes, and magical Saharan vibes 💛

🎫 The flight ticket from Algiers to Djanet is included. 📅 From November 15th to 22nd ✈️ You just need to arrange the Paris to Algiers flight.

🎒 Recommended gear: - Good hiking shoes (around 15 km per day) - Sleeping bag - Water bottle + Aquatabs tablets for water

🚿 Note: no showers during the trek and outdoor toilets. 📵 And most importantly, no network – total disconnection from the world.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to put together a small group to explore the Red Tadrart in the Tassili n’Ajjer desert from November 28 to December 7, 2025 (dates flexible depending on participants’ availability). The idea is to experience this adventure together and benefit from group discounts. => Around 1000 € per person for a group of 5 => Less if the group is larger. This won’t be my first trip to the area, so you can trust me when I say you’re in for an incredible experience. Highlights: endless red dunes, natural arches, ancient rock carvings, and camping under the stars. For flight tickets, we can coordinate to optimize schedules and costs based on where everyone’s traveling from. If you’re keen to discover the Sahara in a different way, or if you’d like more details, feel free to reach out. Sarah

Hi there, we’re planning a road trip in northern Algeria at the end of January – early February. Anyone have any tips for a car rental agency that’s both reliable and not too expensive? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I went to submit my visa application to visit my partner’s family. We’re religiously married in France. I provided an accommodation certificate, pay slips, travel insurance, and a document stating we’re religiously married—signed, etc. I want to travel with my partner’s son, who has both Algerian and French passports and is a minor. So, I told them he lives with us. Since his father has custody, they didn’t charge me anything and said they’d call me back because my file is going to a committee. I also told them I needed to leave by July 15th. This is the Lille consulate—has this ever happened to any of you?,

I’m heading out solo on September 14, 2025, for a month-long road trip in Algeria. Taking the ferry from Almería to Ghazaouet on September 17. Planning to visit Tlemcen, Oran, Tipaza, Algiers, Ghardaïa, Constantine, M’Chouneche, Ouargla, and the Tadrart Desert toward Djanet.

How do I go about booking accommodations? What’s the best way to exchange currency under good conditions? What are the restrictions for traveling alone by car, and is it possible to drive solo all the way to Ghardaïa? I still have a spot available if anyone’s interested.
