      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I would require a private bedroom. If he wants to do a lot of hiking, I would not be a good partner. If he wants to do a lot of shopping and drinking, I would not be a good partner. If he wants to see a lot of historical and cultural sites, that would suit me just fine.

      Judith

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I'm wondering about the full week in Djanet National Park. Would this be guided or 'on your own' time?

    • EL-GOLEA Tourism TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      In Algeria, every tourist should be guided.

    • J

      Judith

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I would need to know many details such as what is included, what is not included, type of transportation and lodging, major activities each day, cost, etc.
