Tropic of Cancer - Libya & Algeria

March 22nd 2010

This week Simon Reeve follows the Tropic of Cancer across the Sahara Desert and through Southern Libya. (Catch up on BBC iPlayer here ) During the show, you will have caught glimpses of the enormous sand dunes and classic Saharan landscape of southern Libya, as well as the surreal Dawada desert lakes. You have the chance to experience these for yourself on our Libyan Sahara tour   as well as camping out in the dunes of the Ubari Sand Sea.

We also have exciting news that our Product department are currently working on two tours in Algeria. You could tell that Simon’s guide (an ex tour leader) in Algeria was anxious to get Algeria back on the tourist map – despite the un-stability of the country.

The Tipaza Basilica: Algeria

Closely following Foreign Office advice and working closely with local contacts to monitor the situation on the ground, we are hoping to offer a Short city break to Algiers and nearby historical sites of Tipaza and Cherchell and a Sahara Desert crossing, covering Tassili Plateau and Hoggar Mountains. We will give you more news of this when it becomes available.
