I went on vacation in Algeria once. I was in Djanet, a small oasis town a couple hours by jet south of Algiers. There are some great climbing mountains with lots of pre-historic cave paintings and things to see. We traveled by camel (and on foot) for about 8 days.

Indeed. The french race Paris Dakar is regularly interupted in those parts because the French DGSE detects threats of kidnapping. Only the lone adventurers do not get the warnings apparently.

This hicker is probably thought to be a French spy, so, there.
