点评:Algeria is a beautiful country full of UNESCO World Heritage sites, welcoming & honest people, wonderful food, and remains largely untouched by Western materialism. I had an invigorating 2 weeks in Algeria (I think you need at least two weeks to gain an appreciation) traversing the entire northern coastal regions. Normally I’m a fully independent traveller but for this trip I engaged Wassim’s services and I was so glad I did. He helped me navigate the visa process, advise on appropriate hotels with excellent locations and most importantly, linked me in with wonderful local guides. I don’t speak French or Arabic, and although not speaking the local languages has never stopped me before, I was SO GLAD that I used Wassim’s services. Firstly, some of the World Heritage Roman sites are not easy to get to, but more importantly the guides he arranged were all of an extremely high quality who were full of insightful knowledge about the local history, culture and food. There were all very used to Western expectations and no Q were off limits. There is no doubt that engaging local tour guides added so much to my trip. Finally, a big thank you to Wassim himself for answering dozens of my Q (mainly before I left) but also being readily available while I was in Algeria as well. I left the country with a warm sense of how beautiful this country and its people are.
翻译:阿尔及利亚是一个美丽的国家,拥有众多联合国教科文组织世界遗产、热情而诚实的人民、美味的食物,并且基本未受到西方物质主义的影响。我在阿尔及利亚度过了令人振奋的两周(我认为你至少需要两周才能欣赏到阿尔及利亚),穿越了整个北部沿海地区。通常我是一个完全独立的旅行者,但这次旅行我聘请了 Wassim 的服务,我很高兴我这么做了。他帮助我办理了签证手续,建议我选择位置优越的合适酒店,最重要的是,他帮我联系了优秀的当地导游。我不会说法语或阿拉伯语,虽然以前不会说当地语言从未阻碍过我,但我很高兴我使用了 Wassim 的服务。首先,一些世界遗产罗马遗址并不容易到达,但更重要的是,他安排的导游都非常优秀,对当地的历史、文化和食物有着深刻的了解。他们都非常习惯西方人的期望,没有任何问题被禁止。毫无疑问,有吸引力当地导游为我的旅行增添了不少乐趣。最后,非常感谢 Wassim 本人回答了我提出的几十个问题(主要是在我离开之前),而且在我到阿尔及利亚期间也一直提供帮助。离开这个国家时,我感受到了这个国家和人民是多么美丽,这让我倍感温暖。
