Hi Noor

Which part of Australia are you from and where in Algeria will you be travelling. I know Algerians in Australia, you could seek advice from.

Dear Noor

I am fascinated to know why Algeria. Do you speak any of the languages?
I travelled to Algeria in Jan 09 and then again in July 09. I highly recommend winter , it is absolutely breathtaking. Anything untouched by man is picturesque. The people are very friendly, nothing like I expected. Its funny I was told by Algerians to be careful, but I found them to be very honest and welcoming. With out a doubt to truly experience a country , you must mix with the locals. I hope you find what you are looking for.
I would love to hear of your experiences when you go.
Will you be travelling alone?

Hi again I have always wanted to travel to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia , Egypt and Scotland. Been to Egypt and now I am wanting to go and adventure around the rest of the places that I would love to visit. I am hoping that I could do Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia in the one big adventure. And I am wanting to go at the end of this year (if possible) or the year after. So right now I am getting all the information I can about these three beautiful places. And yes I want to travel in winter time. Algeria looks fantastic in winter time. I traveled around Australia when I didn't have to worry about the amount of time I was away for. And I am so glad I did. Australia is a very big and beautiful country. But now I am older with young children I can only be away for a certain period of time. OH and No I don't speak any of the languages. But I know French is mostly spoken and one of the languages that is a lot easier for me to learn. But the language is just one of the things that make a holiday a bit more of an adventure. Well for me it is. And the best way to learn a language is to be in the country its from.
I also agree you have to mix with the locals to get the true feeling of the culture of that country. Even here when I traveled around Australia I went to a lot of places that normal people do not travel too. And met a lot of really nice people. Hoping to do the same in these countries.
So thanks again for the reply and any information will be greatly appreciated.
