Hi,
What I have been told recently: Djanet area is now accessible again, even with your car (so, I suppose it means you can enter in Algeria through Taleb Larbi border post, with a guide and an Algerian agency).
Tam area seems no possible for the moment.

Hi
I have the same info about Algieria.
But what do you think about threats in Tunisia? There are not many travelers these days. It is only about 500 km througt cities and viligies, but I don't know what think about it.
I was in Tunisia in 2009 but everything changes now.
regards

Crossing Tunesia
Hi
There are some red marks near the borders and even in borders points but I think it is not a big threat.
The best would be post from somebody who did it recently.
I'm planning about 28 days trip in January with 12-15 days in Algiera (including Djanet area)
Regards

Tunisia is very safe. Entering Algeria will require a visa of course (and not the easiest to get). And as for going south to Djanet, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to get an authorization. I was supposed to ride to Djanet/Tamanrasset in April and even the group of Tunisian/Algerian/Moroccan riders I was going with couldn't get the authorization. I don't thnk things got any better

Algieria
Hello
I also think that Tunisia is safe.
Geting algierian visa is easy in Poland. My friend got it in 2 weeks. Trip in Djanet area with guide of course.
We got info from the same guide that overland travel is also possible. We will start it in September.
Tammanraset is closed now.

Afaik, to get to Djanet you must stick to the highway until nearly there (1500km?). Only Essendilene canyon and Tadrart region SW of Djanet are open to 4x4, so it's a long old drive for a bit of off-road. Even then the last 400km from Illizi is pretty spectacular and you could spend a great few days in the Tadrart and Merzouga dunes, beyond. If you can negotiate leaving Fadnoun plateau early and heading for Afara and coming round Tazat mountain for the road to Djanet, so much the better.
It's worth a day's hike up to Jabbaren rock art too (an hour out of Djanet).
Shame all that great desert is going to waste ;-(
