点评:We had a great time in the desert with Targi! We really didn’t know what to expect going into the tour and it was better than we could’ve ever thought. We did 4 days in tadrat rouge (highly recommend this part- it is a great combo of seeing ancient paintings and engravings and wild desert landscapes) and a side trip to an oasis. We had AMAZING, fresh food too and felt incredibly safe and cared for the whole time. The highlight was definitely our guide Abdul and driver Abdullah. We learned so so so much from them - history, turag culture and had so many cool conversations about all sorts of topics. Abdul is incredibly curious and knows the desert inside and out. It felt like we could ask anything and made the experience so much more meaningful!! They were attentive when we asked to walk or stop and check out certain spots- they even helped us spontaneously ride camels when we got so excited about them. Salim was also super responsive and is really passionate about giving his clients the best experience possible - it meant a lot. Couldn’t recommend Targi enough. Biggest thing we wish we knew - there are no ATMs in Algeria where you can use a foreign card so make sure you bring enough cash for the whole trip. The visa Salim helps with isn’t actually a Visa but a visa approval form so you will have to get and pay for your actual visa in cash at the airport. This kinda screwed us because even though we brought extra cash, we thought we’d be able to get more at ATMs in Algeria and the visa was expensive so we barely had enough cash to pay for everything. Lessons learned. Also we recommend bringing toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Go to the desert with Targi!! We hope to be back!!
翻译:我们和Targi一起在沙漠里度过了美好的时光!出发前我们真的不知道会是什么样的体验,结果却比我们想象的还要棒。我们在红塔德拉特(Tadrat Rouge)待了四天(强烈推荐这部分——这里完美地融合了古代绘画和雕刻以及狂野的沙漠景观),还顺道去了绿洲。我们吃到了超级棒的新鲜食物,而且全程都感觉非常安全,受到了无微不至的照顾。最棒的绝对是我们的导游Abdul和司机Abdullah。我们从他们那里学到了很多东西——历史、沙漠文化,还就各种话题进行了很多有趣的交流。Abdul求知欲极强,对沙漠了如指掌。感觉我们什么都可以问,这让我们的体验更加意义非凡!当我们提出想步行或停下来看看某些地方时,他们都非常热情周到——甚至在我们兴奋地想骑骆驼的时候,他们还临时安排我们骑了骆驼。Salim也非常负责,他真的非常热心,致力于为客户打造最佳体验——这让我们非常感动。强烈推荐Targi。我们最希望事先知道的一点是——阿尔及利亚没有能用外国银行卡的ATM机,所以一定要带够整个行程所需的现金。Salim帮忙办理的签证其实不是签证,而是签证批准函,所以你最终还是要在机场用现金办理正式签证。这一点让我们很头疼,虽然我们带了额外的现金,但以为在阿尔及利亚的ATM机上能取到更多,结果签证费又贵,最后我们几乎没钱支付所有费用。真是吸取教训了。另外,我们建议带上卫生纸和洗手液。和Targi一起去沙漠吧!!我们希望还能再去!!
