We have been informed within the last fortnight that arrangements will have to be made for a guide to meet you, (or your party) at the border to take you to your destination, in our case Tam. This guide will have his own vehicle and cost you around 130 to 150 euros a day. The old arrangement of simply arranging for a guide to sit in your vehicle with you no longer applies, and has been changed by the Algerian government due to ongoing security issues.
In our case, the 'guide' would take us to Tam, where we will then have to pick up local guides on the same basis for touring/ exploring the Hoggar, etc.
Hope that helps some, and we are still planning to pop over there in January if you maybe wanted to shift your dates from a really sweltering August to another cooler time.
Cheers... Chris
