Carnets Afghan English translation pending
Bonjour a tous,
La semaine dernière j'ai terminer carnets Afghan que m'avait conseiller Odonat.
C'est un trés bon livre de Stéphan Allix.
Il part à 19 ans an Afghanistant pour ce faire les dents comme journaliste. On le suis dès lors dans ses tribulation lors de la guerre contre les russe (il est du côté des afghan), puis lors de l'emergence des Taliban (il rencontre le molah Omar) puis dans la guerre que livre l'alliance du nord au Taliban (ou il rencontre Massoud). Ce passionné de l'afghanistant y retourne pour ouvrire une antenne Afghan de la Société des Explorateur Francais. Le but de cette antenne est de mener un inventaire de la richesse des trésort archéologique de l'afghanistan. Malheureusement le projet est tuer dans l'oeuf suite à la destruction des Boudha de Bamyan.
Le livre ce termine comme il a commencer, par la description du drame familial qu'as connut stephan, la mort de son frère. Une mort dans des conditions si banal qu'on aurait presque préferer qu'il saute sur une mine, mais la réalité est plus crue et finalement plus cruel ...
A lire vraiment, si vous êtes passionner de voyages et d'asie central !!!!

Riviera Maya en famille English translation pending
Quels sont les meilleurs hôtels sur la Riviera Maya pour voyager en famille (2 adultes et 2 ados de 13 et 15 ans) en rapport qualité / prix et localisation?
Est-ce qu'une semaine c'est suffisant pour voir les principales activités tout en se reposant3-4 jours au minimum??? On court à l'année longue, donc on veut quand même se reposer!!!
À Cuba ou en République, la question ne se pose pas, mais au Mexique il y a tellement à voir que j'ai peur qu'il faille y aller 2 semaines pour apprécier?

Plongée sous marine et espagnol au Honduras English translation pending
Bonjour à tous!
Je suis une maniaque de plongée sous-marine. J'ai fait quelques pays : 4 fois Cuba, Panama et la Colombie (San Andrès). Je prévois partir 2 mois à l'automne 2004 au Honduras pour jumeler mes deux passions : la plongée sous-marine et l'acquisition d'une troisième langue : l'espagnole.
J'aimerais bien avoir des informations sur cette destination. Invitation également à tous les plongeurs à me donner des idées de voyages de plongée, car j'ai deux semaines à planifier pour le mois de mars.

qqs commentaires au sujet du groupe Marsans English translation pending
bonjour!
j'ai hésité un moment avant de faire partager mes impressions à propos de ce nouveau tour operator.
J'avais fait appel à eux pour un circuit dans le Yucatan . Les sites proposés correspondaient à mes attentes mais la réalité n'a été que frustration et baclage par des "apprentis"
La première surprise a été à l'aéroport où le guichet réferent qui délivrait les billets -zelé- nous a fait patienter jusqu'à l'heure prévue. Fait normal jusque là, mais peut etre un peu moins quand on constate que les voyageurs des tours operators concurrents avaient déjà enregistré leurs bagages... conséquence? beaucoup de couples ont donc fait le trajet séparés!
A notre arrivée pas de soucis majeurs, l'accueil dans les hotels à été optimale. L'hospitalité mexicaine est irréprochable. Notre première visite, celle de Chichen Itza s'est faite sous la pluie, au moins j'ai des photos uniques, ca c'est sur!
J'ai sourit quand j'ai pu voir l'organisation de la visite de la ville de Mérida: on quitte l'hotel à 9:00, faisons qqs quartiers en bus pour revenir au meme hotel 30 minutes plus tard pour visiter à pied le centre ville puis le marché. Départ à 12:00 vers l'étape suivante. La désorganisation à commencé à m'agacer en arrivant l'après midi meme sur le site archéologique d' Uxmal. L' emploi du temps à été très mal géré et il ne restait que 1 heure avant la fermeture du site au moment de notre arrivée. Fait inadmissible à mon sens car le site est très vaste et très riche en architecture. La frustration à été intense car j'avais choisi de parcourir 9500km pour pouvoir jouir de ces lieux.
Le lendemain, la visite éclair (30 minutes) de la ville de Campeche se passe de tout commentaires... dommage car c'était une ancienne ville coloniale très colorée et très belle. Heureusement que je suis une adepte au jogging!
je ne parle meme pas de nos pannes de bus (j'insiste sur le pluriel! je vous promets de ne pas etre née un vendredi 13!)
La fin du circuit couronne le tout! On nous annonce un hotel...comble de malchance il manque "juste" l'electricité donc halte plus tot que prévue dans un éco village ( très agréable). La visite du site de Chicana à été sans interet (annonce de la visite comme une biosphère= cela a consisté à nous désigner le nom de 4 arbres...) faite en 30 minutes pour se retrouver dans l'hotel en face à 16:00. Lendemain matin, lever 15 minutes plus tot... j'ai pensé "chouette! on va passer plus de temps sur un des sites prévu!" Je suis déjà blonde et visiblement mon cas doit etre désesperé car je suis naive par dessus le marché... en fait, j'ai appris que la famille représentante du groupe Marsans qui voyageait avec nous devait etre déposée à leur hotel pour leur entamer leur semaine balnéaire et pour ce détour ils ont mobilisé tout le groupe de cette facon! Cette situation prouve tant le manque de respect d'autrui qu'ils n'ont meme pas osé en parler franchement au groupe
Mais la panne de bus suivante (encore!) à écourté la visite du cenote prévu (15 minutes d'arret). Je ne parle meme pas du site de Tulum qu'ils ont littéralement saccagé car l'hotel suivant changeait et était 120km plus loin que prévu... Vu les circonstances, la famille en question s'est fait déposer à un endroit où un taxi les attendait. Je pointe ce fait dans la mesure ou d'autres personnes du groupe se rendaient au meme hotel, et que dans le cas où tout s'était déroulé normalement, on déplacait 40 personnes pour le confort de 3 sans meme proposer à celles concernées le meme "traitement"; En effet, c'était le dernier soir nous rejoignions le dernier hotel pour etre transferés le lendemain. De plus, ce changement de dernière minute était un peu agacant car la majorité du groupe avait choisi l'hotel initial pour ne pas avoir à remballer sa valise une fois de plus. Celà nous a couté une journée de plus à attendre que la chambre soit libre et fait perdre une journée sur place
Toutefois, notez que lce meme hotel vient d'etre retiré du catalogue Marsans... vu le nombre d'insatisfaits. Auraient ils eu la présence d'esprit de prévenir la clientèle qu'ils envoyaient à la meme période ou de leur proposer une autre alternative? Je vous laisse deviner!
l'approche gastronomique à été des plus pauvre car tous les sites ou nous sommes passés nous ont servi sensiblement les memes spécialités (aucune communication entre les organisateurs et les lieux visités)
J'ai mis a profit ma seconde semaine, j'ai loué une voiture, pris les bus en commun et refait une majorité de ces sites... Je vous jure que je pense partir que par ce biais à l'avenir "on n'est jamais mieux servi que par soit meme".
Voila, je vous ai raconté qqch dont j'ai un peu honte, je comprends que pour leurs premiers voyages les gens ressentent un besoin de sécurité et optent pour ce type de voyage, mais sincèrement rien ne vaut le contact avec les autochtones et préparer son voyage en apprenant un peu leur langue n'est que enrichissant
Peut etre ce groupe evoluera-t-il positivement dans les saisons à venir... mais pour le moment ne vous laissez pas gacher comme moi votre reve d'enfance
j'attends vos impressions

What to visit around Sousse?
Hello,
In September, my wife and I, along with another couple, will be traveling to Tunisia and staying at the Sheherasade Hotel near Sousse.
We’d love to hear your recommendations or tips on places to visit, as well as advice on taxis or other transportation options.
Thanks in advance!
What are your suggestions for visiting Naples and the Amalfi Coast?
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.
Driver or self-drive tour in Albania?
hi,
I just booked a flight and hotel (Mövenpick in Durrës) for my husband and me for late May. We’re thinking of spending (I haven’t really decided yet) one day in Tirana, one day around Berat, and one day around Gjirokastër and the Albanian Riviera. We were planning to hire a private driver for the day. I asked the hotel if they could find one for me... they brushed me off! Yet I usually do this for all my trips.
Would you have a name, a company, or someone I could contact?
Otherwise, is it "dangerous"—road conditions and Albanian driving—to rent a car?
Do I need an international driver’s permit?
thanks

Tips and travel experiences by bus in Colombia
I visited Colombia in January 2016 and I’m heading back from August 6th to 17th with the same airline to see how things have changed. Starting August 18th, I’ll continue with independent exploration. I prefer slow travel and enjoying places at my own pace.
Any tips—especially for getting around or must-see spots—are welcome!

Booking a visit to the Acropolis
I’d like to book tickets for a visit to the Acropolis at the end of April. The official site is down. What do you think of agencies like Get Your Guide? Are they reliable? It’s a lot more expensive. The audio guide option is tempting, but is that reliable too? We’re a bit older and like to take our time...
Do the other museums (National Archaeological Museum and Museum of Cycladic Art) also require reservations? We visited Athens 50 years ago, and it seems like things have changed a lot.

In 2024, I spent two months solo in El Salvador. While I’m still putting together my travel journal on Myatlas, here’s a quick recap. It’s a country where it’s really easy to travel without a guide or agency.
SAFETY:
For a long time, the country was considered one of the most dangerous in the world because of the "maras," ultra-violent gangs. But today, I think it’s the safest country in Latin America.
BUDGET:
For French tourists, the country is very affordable, especially in the less touristy regions.
TRANSPORT:
I got around everywhere by local bus.
Local buses go everywhere and run all the time. For me, it’s the best way to travel in El Salvador—you’re fully immersed, moving at the pace of the locals, and interacting with Salvadorans who are eager to connect with travelers.
I saw all sorts of things on those buses—I’ve got dozens of stories!
PEOPLE:
I’m used to traveling all over Latin America, and for me, Salvadorans are the warmest and most welcoming. Everywhere you go, people say, "Welcome to El Salvador!" The connections and long conversations with locals were my favorite part of the trip.
TOURIST CROWDS:
The country isn’t well-known among European tourists, but Americans and Quebecers visit. Overall, it’s still pretty low-key, especially compared to other Central American countries. That said, tourism has been growing since security improved significantly.
WHAT I LOVED ❤️
-Suchitoto, one of the most beautiful colonial towns in Central America.
-The volcanoes—there are so many! Santa Ana is the most touristy.
-The lakes—also plentiful. Coatepeque is the most famous, but there are lots of lagoons too.
-The mountainous regions, where the cooler weather is a nice break: La Palma, Perquín, Cerro El Pital, etc.
-The charming villages along the Ruta de las Flores, especially Nahuizalco with its nighttime atmosphere and food stalls. Juayúa and others are great too.
-The conversations with people who lived through the horrors of the civil war in Perquín and Cinquera. I met one of them by chance while waiting for a bus.
For surfers, El Salvador is a paradise, with world-famous beaches.
WHAT I LIKED LESS:
I loved almost everything, but I found the archaeological sites a bit underwhelming. Joyabaj de Cerén is billed as the "Pompeii of El Salvador," which is a stretch (though it *is* a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical value).

Back from two months in Guatemala
Hi there,
I spent two months alone in Guatemala this summer, without a guide or agency, and I’d love to share a quick recap of my impressions.
● First off, it’s really easy to travel without a guide or agency. If you want a guide for excursions, you can easily find one through the many agencies in Antigua or Panajachel. In Flores, there are also plenty of agencies offering multi-day jungle treks.
● I got around by shuttle for part of the "classic" and more touristy route. To step off that path, I took "camionetas" (chicken buses) or minibuses.
For me, "camionetas" are the best way to get around Guatemala. They let you travel everywhere, fully immersed, at the local pace. They run all the time and are even an adventure in themselves.
Shuttles are direct, but local buses aren’t. No matter how you travel, trips take a while because roads are often in bad shape, and in the mountains, you can’t overtake.
● As for safety, there’s nothing unusual compared to other Latin American countries. Just keep in mind it’s not Europe. As a solo woman, I try not to draw too much attention—though traveling alone already does that. Like in other countries, I was often asked where my kids and husband were, and I just gave whatever answer I felt like.
● Budget-wise, Guatemala isn’t too expensive for French tourists, but Antigua and Panajachel—two very touristy spots—are pricier.
● Guatemala is a small country but incredibly rich in culture and nature (volcanoes, mountains, beaches, etc.). You can easily spend several days (or even weeks) in each region.
● My top picks ❤️:
- The Mayan markets, especially the one in San Francisco El Alto - The Ixil Triangle: Nebaj, Chajul, Acul - The stunning landscapes around Todos Santos Cuchumatán - Antigua, very touristy but beautiful - Lake Atitlán, also touristy but gorgeous
I planned to climb Pacaya Volcano, but early in my trip, there was an earthquake in Antigua, and by the end, I wasn’t in the mood. Climbing Acatenango is more spectacular but also more challenging.
● Biggest highlights ❤️ ❤️:
- Tikal—it’s THE must-see site, an incredible mix of archaeology and nature!
- The Joyabaj Fair, which I hadn’t planned to visit but ended up spending a week at: Mayan ceremonies, equestrian parades, diverse dances, processions with Mayan priests, and especially the "palo volador"—the highlight of the festival!
● Small letdown 👎:
- Ranchitos del Quetzal, where I went hoping to spot the quetzal. I knew it wasn’t the right season, but I was still disappointed—I didn’t see any other birds either, and the hiking options were limited. It also took me a slight detour from Cobán.
If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them.
● If you’re interested, I kept a more detailed travel journal, and I’m working on another one just about the Joyabaj Fair:

Backpacking itinerary in Tunisia
Hi there,
I'm urgently planning a trip to Tunisia in November, backpacker-style (no agency, no guide or taxi, public transport, youth hostels or small hotels, local restaurants). I'm not interested in the beach, and I like to take my time at archaeological sites and museums (twice as long as the average visitor). I'm aiming for about two weeks, give or take.
First, I'm trying to roughly outline a route/schedule so I can book my flight as soon as possible (no desert in the south this time—I went there years ago and want to stay independent). I’ve sketched out the following itinerary, knowing that apparently, there are quite a few towns without budget-friendly hotels (even on Airbnb), which means I’ll be staying longer where they’re available. Three questions: 1. Does this seem reasonable overall (time spent in each city)? 2. Should I add other cities, maybe in the northwest? 3. For hotels, in November, is it better to scout options on booking sites first, then book on the spot for cheaper rates (no site commission + possible negotiation)? Also, are hotels not listed online and found randomly on-site much cheaper?
ROUGH ITINERARY (order to be confirmed)
TUNIS 5 days (cheap accommodations: 13 or 19 €) 2 days: Medina, souks, Bardo Museum, Royal Mausoleum of Tourbet El Bey, Zitouna Mosque (exterior) 1 day: Sidi Bou Said 1 day: Carthage 1 day: A-R Dougga (bus to Tebersouk 2h + taxi) – pack a picnic + option: hike to Zaghouan (750m+, 10km round trip) – worth it? Doable alone?
KAIROUAN 2 days (very expensive room: 40-50 €!) Great Mosque, Medina, Three Doors Mosque, medieval cemetery, Sidi Sahbi Mosque...
SOUSSE 3 days (room 15 €) 2 days: Medina, archaeological museum, Port El Kantaoui, the Ribat (fortress), Contemporary Art Museum Dar Am Taïeb, Dar Essid (17th-century traditional house) 1 day: A-R El Jem (60km away) + option: 1 day A-R Monastir? Worth it? + option: 1 day A-R Mahdia (or 2 days sleeping there)?
OPTIONS -> Gabes to mix things up? But is it easy to find cheap lodging and get around/visit alone? -> Other sights or stops to sleep: Sfax, El Kef, others? -> Kerkenna Islands (easy accommodation?)
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions on these options. Once I’ve adjusted the duration, I’ll book my tickets for early November! (By the way, do you think I should arrive and depart from two different airports?)

Various questions - 1 week in Athens and 1 week cruising the Cyclades
Hello everyone,
I’m a bit late planning, but we’re traveling as a family from October 26 to October 31, 2025, to Athens. After that, we’ll continue our journey from the port of Piraeus for a cruise with Celestyal Cruises (November 1 to November 8) in the Cyclades.
First, a few practical tips:
Is it easy to get by speaking French in Athens, or is English a must? Any tips for making yourself understood? Our hotel is located in central Athens. What do you recommend taking from the airport? A taxi, the metro, or the bus?
For sightseeing: We’ll be there for 5 days. What do you recommend? Should we book tickets for the monuments in advance or on-site? I’ve heard about a pass for visiting 5 monuments. What does it include? Do you have to visit all the monuments on the same day, or can you spread it out over the week? On some websites, it mentions that Tuesday, October 28, would be a free day for monuments. Can anyone confirm this, and what are the rules to benefit from it? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Looking for participants for a TANZANIA SAFARI in January 2026
Hello.
I’m looking for participants to form a group of 5 to 6 people for a safari in Tanzania during the dry season in January or even February 2026. There are already two of us. This period is ideal for the Great Migration (when animals cross into Kenya, including wildebeest and zebras, with predators like lions around).
Duration: about one week. A 13-day option is available, but it’s more expensive.
Approximate price: 3500 € (flights included).
You can either go through an agency (local or not) or directly contact a guide (like the SO GUIDES association, for example). I have a contact with a guide who has received very positive reviews.
I won’t go into all the details yet. The first step is to form a group so we can negotiate with a provider. After that, we’ll communicate and make decisions together.

Here’s an example of a safari package with a guide:

Start a day hike to the impressive waterfalls in one of the country’s highest regions, where glacial, crystal-clear water cascades from 70 meters high. The beautiful trail leads to Materuni Waterfalls at 2,500 meters altitude. To reach them, you’ll cross valleys and hills covered in tropical forest, coffee, avocado, and banana plantations. On clear days, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s highest peak. You’ll also learn how to prepare and taste coffee. In the evening, return to Arusha for an overnight stay at Green Mountain Hotel.
**Day 3: HIKE IN A MAASAI VILLAGE** After breakfast around 8:30 AM, you’ll be picked up from your hotel for a walking safari in the wild village. Visit local primary schools, meet traditional healers, and learn about their techniques. You’ll also visit one of the local livestock markets. Dinner and overnight at the Maasai village Boma house.
**Day 4: WILDLIFE IN 4X4 ALONG THE TARANGIRE RIVER** Around 8 AM, pickup from your hotel in Arusha for a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park for a day of wildlife viewing. The park is famous for its dense wildlife along the Tarangire River. It’s home to a large number of elephants in the northern circuit and over 550 bird species. You’ll also spot herds of impalas, hartebeests, wildebeests, kudus, oryxes, gerenuks, zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas are also present, along with massive African baobabs. Dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Fig Tree Lodge.
**Day 5: LAKE MANYARA PARK – WILDLIFE VIEWING IN THE RIFT VALLEY** Around 8 AM, depart from your camp to Lake Manyara Park (at the foot of a 600-meter escarpment in the Great Rift Valley) for a day of safaris. You’ll see giraffes, buffaloes, baboon troops, tree-climbing lions, and many other animals. Dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Fig Tree Lodge.
**Day 6: WILDLIFE IN SERENGETI** In the morning, drive for 5 hours to the stunning Serengeti National Park, passing through the Olduvai Gorge archaeological site.

**Day 7: MAGNIFICENT SUNRISE SAFARI IN SERENGETI** Enjoy a stunning sunrise safari in the golden savanna of the Serengeti’s endless plains, all day long, following the animals’ movements. Spend the night at the camp and share your incredible experience so far at Serengeti Nyani Camp.
**Day 8: MAJESTIC EXCURSION IN THE SERENGETI PLAINS** Wake up at 6 AM for coffee at the camp, then head out for a sunrise safari in the Serengeti. Our guide will take you to the best spots to admire the sunrise and observe predators, as many of them, like lions, are most active at this time of day. Return to camp around 10 AM for brunch, then load your belongings into the jeep for a 2-hour safari en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Simba Lodge.

You’ll explore the area on safari and spot rare species like black rhinos, wildebeests, giraffes, ostriches, bustards, lions, cheetahs, and flamingos in the Soda Lake. In the afternoon, return to Arusha, arriving in the evening for your private activities.
**END OF SERVICES**
**RATES:** The package price is 1,800 USD per person in a double room. Since the guide doesn’t handle flight tickets, we’ll need to arrange those ourselves.
You’ll need to add around 1200 €, bringing the total to 3000 €. This is the price for an independent guide. For a travel agency, you’d need to budget at least 3600 €. Plus, with the guide, we get an extra day of activities compared to an agency’s offer.

This package is for a non-private group. If we form our own group, it becomes private, and we can negotiate with the guide—including requesting a French-speaking guide.
So, are you interested? Could you let me know soon, please?
I’m looking for participants to form a group of 5 to 6 people for a safari in Tanzania during the dry season in January or even February 2026. There are already two of us. This period is ideal for the Great Migration (when animals cross into Kenya, including wildebeest and zebras, with predators like lions around).

From Cairo to Luxor via the White Desert or via the Nile Valley: preparatory questions
Hi there,
This trip to Egypt isn’t happening anytime soon, but I like to plan a few steps ahead! 😉
I’ve already been to Egypt several times (Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, the classic cruise, the Lake Nasser cruise, Abu Simbel, Taba) both solo and on organized tours, but my partner hasn’t.
So, I’m thinking of mixing the classic with something a bit more original.
My idea is to visit Cairo and its surroundings, then make my way to Luxor in stages. The trip would end in Luxor.
Renting a car doesn’t seem like a viable option. That leaves boats, public transport, a car with a driver, or even a private tour for the stretch between Cairo and Luxor.
My questions:
How can I cover the Cairo-Luxor stretch if I go through the White Desert? Is a car with a driver possible? What’s the daily cost of hiring a car with a driver (including the driver’s accommodation and expenses)? How many days should I plan for this route (Saqqara, Fayoum Oasis, Black Desert, White Desert, Ad-Dakhla, El Kharga)?
Are there any cruise boats that do the Cairo-Luxor route (or vice versa)? Dahabiyas? Or at least the Assiut-Luxor stretch?
Thanks! 🙂
