Hello everyone, I'm a new member here, having been informed that this is the best place to get information on my upcoming trip in North Africa. I've been doing solo backpacking trips for years now, and will likely be doing my North Africa trip next year alone too.

Basically I will arrive on 1st June in Algeria, traveling overland to Tunisia, then flying to Marakech and ending my trip in Fes, for around a month. Being a Malaysian, the only visa I need is Morocco, which apparently isn't too much of a hassle to get here in Malaysia.

I'm wondering if you guys can help me with the following information?

1. I have read that Algeria is the best place to do the Saharan Desert trip. But considering the time constraint and the fact that I'm alone, is it still a feasible option? My ideal plan is to do a 3 day 2 nights tour.

Tassili Airline offer return tickets to Tamanraset and Djanet for around 400usd return (I couldn't get Air Algeria to show the booking for June next year), with the guide, 4wd transport, night accomodation, food, etc, how much would I be expected to spend?

Plan B would be to instead visit M'zab or Timimoun instead, which seems nearer.

2. I have found that Morocco offers shared 3 days 2 night package tours, to Morzouga and Erg Chebbi from Marakech. This one would be possible to do in less than 100euro per person.

Just wondering say I've already done the one in Algeria, would it appear repetitive? Or should I just chose one of the two?

I would appreciate any suggestions and recommendation. It just seems like the information on Algeria is really scarce online.

Thank you in advance.
