>>>The 'border to border' guide requirement is not enforced
To clarify: it sure is when you arrive from the north in Tunisia (as most people do), tho I have heard of people getting down unguided south from coastal Algeria until they hit the 'southern guide zone'.
Also, it is not uncommon for a cheif of one district (eg: In Salah) not to be reading from the same hymnsheet as the guy in Taleb Larbi (main Tuni border).
Coming north in transit (less common) is a different story, it seems - even joining the TSH convoy has been avoided. Thanks for the info, but while you have long been able to roam around north Alg unguided, don't count on this being a nifty dodge to do some unguided piste-bashing.
