Hotel Sabri Algiers

It would not be a problem for me but I am not feeling easy due to a possible delay in the leave. My son in Dhaka (he is 7 yrs now) declared that he will not let me enter the home if I make further late here. Also I miss my daughter (she is 3 month old now and born after I came to Cairo)..

... air in the deep south of this giant country, one of the biggest in Africa. From this strange town, in the dry and stone desert, with its houses surrounded by walls we started our tour in the desert by two 4x4 landrovers, our funny arab cooker and two tuareg drivers.
