What kind of information do you want to have ?
If you are afraid of the demonstrations, avoid them, they are usually organized on Friday.

Which regions are open for tourism ?
Which roads ?
After this post:
Quote:
A tour agency just emailed saying the Tefedest and Immidir regions are open.
Dont know if that means transits between Tam and Illizi wilaya are permitted.
|
Is there anything new ?
I'm travelling alone with my motorcycle and I'm trying to make a sort of a plan.
Thanks!

As far as I know they are not.
That info I was given may have been premature, according to other agencies.
You do realise you will need a guide/escort from border to border @€100/day. It's not like Morocco.

I'm trying to understand which roads I can follow without an escort.

Like North Korea or Iran for some.
A few have slipped through over the years.
Speaking French will help talk your way in.

Sorry, Chris, but in Iran you don't need any guide nor escort.
I've been there with my car in 2011,2015,2018 without any problem.
May be it dépends your nationality (American?).

Just in case anyone reads this it is wrong. It is US, UK and Canadians who require a guide.

Sam, there was a bit of a thread drift a two years ago, and with so little happening it did not become buried by newer posts.
