If I choose to visit Oran alone and do not speak French or Arabic, will I be able to hire an English or Spanish speaking guide with no plroblem? Andre

Salut les amis:
I will be going on vacation to Oran, Algeria summer 2006.
I would like to have names of good hotels, were it is safe for a woman alone to stay.
Also if you have prices per night, either in dollars or dinars.

I guess it's better if, as an American I should wait for George to be out of the White Hosue before venturing to Oran?

Hello.
I am new here and my own Page is just in the beginning but, anyway, maybe someone can help me by my intention to visit Oran.
I live in Germany and a friend of mine lives in Oran. I like to visit him but i am not sure if it's possible.
There is the problem that i don't speak any france, only english and of course only some words arabic.
And i am not sure how safe it is for a european man in north Algeria.
Then i need a visa. Can i get a visa without any travel agenture only with a private Invitation?
I think about to go to Oran in Oktober or November. How is the season in that time?
Also i would be very thankful for any tips and help.
Best wishes to you and thank's.

is there a site where i could order flowers from france, to be delivered in Oran??

thanks in advance
