Hi. Myself and kids aged 12 and 14 are in Taghazout area and want to get to ouirigaine tomorrow. I would love to go via grand taxi over the Tizi and test pass. Just wondering approximately how many hours this would take and if it is a lot to do in one day? We made it from M’Hamid to Taroudante in one day but the road was good. Could we get a grand taxi from Taroudant to ouirigaine pretty easily if we paid for the whole thing ourselves? Any idea on what cost should be? Thanks for any advice!

Hello, having trouble finding public transport from Axum to Gheralta and Gheralta-Mekelle, private is too expensive. Thanks in advance :)

Hi folks!
thank you for your kind attention :)
We're a couple at our 30's looking to plan our trip to fabulous Morrocco between 28/3/20-11/4/20. We thought to rent a car and have a road trip around the locations described in the below table. It would be great to hear your comments and suggestions if the trip plan is applicable or should be amended.

We somewhat spontaneously bought return tickets (one week) to Marrakesh for mid January, intending to stay there one night and then travel to a lovely looking riad in Tahnaout. Only later did I check the weather and saw it's likely to be quite cold then. We're used to the cold (live in northern Poland) but hoped to spend at least a few days somewhere warmer. Can anyone recommend somewhere we could do a detour to from Marakesh (or Tahnaout) that would include some warmth. We've been to Ouarzazate…

Hi all.

Planning to go to Algeria in December and my documents are with the consulate. They are unhappy with the invitation letter I had sent them originally and asked for another one.

Could you please let me know of any travel agency that will provide one quickly? Happy to pay for this, of course. According to the Consulate it would need to have a fax number on it.

If you are an accredited travel agency in Algeria, I am willing to pay for the service of having an invitation letter provided…

I live in Lagos with my children (we are American), two are tweens, and we have two children under the age of five.

Since we're only in Lagos for a few more months, I wanted to take a long weekend trip to Benin since it's so close, but I'm not sure of what the best places to visit with children are.

I'm thinking it may just be best to find a nice beach to stay at for a few days and enjoy the water, but I wonder if there are some other attractions we can explore.
