Taghit, Djanet, Tassili n'Ajjer… The Algerian desert is one of the most grandiose in the world. But heading south requires serious preparation: ideal season, equipment, routes, safety.
Concrete tips tested by our travellers, organised by theme to make your preparation easier.
Check your passport validity
Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. Check before you book.
Find out about visa requirements
Some countries require a visa that can take several weeks to obtain. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before departure.
Take out travel insurance
Good insurance covers medical care, repatriation and cancellation. Essential for travelling with peace of mind.
Make copies of your documents
Scan your passport, ticket, and hotel booking and email them to yourself. Also keep a paper copy separate from the originals.
Notify your bank
Tell your bank which countries you'll be visiting to avoid your card being blocked on suspicion of fraud abroad.
Check recommended vaccinations
For some destinations, vaccines or preventive medication (anti-malarials) are recommended. Check before you go.
