Timimoun
Back in 2011, I've spent 4 weeks in Algeria travelling with public transport without an escort. My route was Alger - Oran - Béchar - Taghit - Adrar - Timimoun - In Salah - Ghardaia - Alger. Only in In Salah the police or gendarmerie were a bit surprised seeing me there unescorted, but it posed no problems since I was on my way up to Ghardaia. Timimoun was the absolute highlight of the trip, I think I've spend 10 days there. In Timimoun I met the magnificent guide Jamal, with whom I made several day trips in the desert. Lots to see, you can easily spend a week or more in the region. If you want I can DM his email and phone number.
