Algerians are one of the nicest people you'll ever meet in the planet .
Until they come to the west and get welfare
Ask sweedish women about that
The generosity of algerian people is insane, heroes.
Thank you😊
Welcome to Algeria! Hella nice and good thing yet to figure 'em out.
Welcome to Stockholm Muhammad, our women and food are yours.
The generosity of the Algerian people genuinely gives me hope in this world. The people that are less fortunate, bring through the warmest smiles and are so selfless. Maybe us Westerners should take some notes❤
And even if he goes to the big northern cities of Algeria he would still find the same kind of generosity, not just in the desert/small villages
It is the mentality across the country, rich or poor.
Visit us to figure out hella good things!
it's honor your opinion,that's us in reality ,we don't use tourists, we have traditional of guests and help strangers for free,btw here no tips
We are not less fortunate. Do you know that Algeria is rich in natural resources that we don't rely on tourism to eat. And we have no debt at all?
What's the weather in algeria?
Algeria : YES
😂
4 Season a day😊
4 season my friend we have everything and the winter here is very cold 🥶and snowy it's Snow's even in spring
weather in algeria is crazy fool It changes in minutes from sunny to thunder, followed by a snow storm, then to sunny again
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In these videos, whenever a group of people show up out of nowhere to give the boys food and gifts, it makes me cry every time. In a world of shit, there are still amazing people everywhere.
The good people will always remain whatever the bad ones will do! Bear that in mind.
You are welcome ,that's Algerians mentality and traditional.
❤
❤❤❤❤
I think part of why it affects us is because this is how it should be, everywhere, always, just people helping people. And it's sad because it shows us how we don't do that in most places.
To all the Algerians here in the comments, I wish you a good remainder of the ramadan. You are being an example to the world.
Thank 's my Friend ❤
That's so kind of you!

Can we talk about how impressive it is that the editing team has managed to catch-up to be completely up to date with the vlogs (this was literally 2 days ago) while living and doing this journey with Russ, editing in a van in the Sahara Desert, and putting out this level of quality at the same time 👏🏽
I imagine the round the clock military escort has helped a lot. It sounds like they’ve helped with a lot of the logistics (grocery runs, etc).
Yes the gendarmerie definitely helped but they were annoying and as an algerian i confirm they can get really annoying it's like a thing with them ... Also without them the team still could ask any lovals people are nice and generous@@stephenbeck7222
I didn't know it took 2 days to edit it
More impressive is doing it with a sand encrusted nvidia graphics card😂

Restores my faith in humanity seeing all of these interactions you’ve had with people across the mission, but particularly through Mauritania and Algeria. Amazing.
Both are muslims countries. Religion of terrorism according to western media what a joke
@@nharkhalid4840 Just because islam is a religion of terrorists, doesn't mean ALL muslims are terrorists.
But just observe the number of religiously based terrorist attacks, and tell me not most of them are muslims.
Look at Taliban, Daesh, Boko Haram, and others. Are these not muslims? Are these not terrorists?
Mauritania and Algeria ( Tunisia too ) are Arab-Muslime countries so it is part of our education, traditions and religion to be generous and kind and guest welcoming.
The harsh landscape change area outside of Djelfa is a town called "Had-Sahary". It literally translates to "The desert border/limit". You are no longer in the Sahara. Everything is green if U go North from there.
You should have taken a picture there to celebrates the astounding achievement of crossing the Sahara. Congrats Russ

No, it factually isn't special. The fact that you think your country is special about something that happens in just about every other country in the world, shows that you have never been outside of your own country, and that you are delusional about the world.
Algeria، peak of generosity
The generosity of the people throughout the mission, but especially in Mauritania and Algeria, has been amazing to see. Made me genuinely emotional in this episode.

True. But the mental strength that will be required when he's back in England getting a tesco meal deal will be more profound.
It's an extreme example of what we all experience but do not normally notice, that life is about the journey and not chasing a final destination.
I think he'll notice the changes to his mindset when he's back living easy. His will sharpened to steel.

Man, I've been warning you since few days ago. Once you've reached El Bayadh, you actually left the desert climate and reached the semi-dry algerian Highlands. Djelfa is amongst the coldest parts of the country. Believe me, if you've reached this part of Algeria in December or January, it would've been WILD with negative temperatures even at mid-day. Now, the desert will slowly disappear the more you go north, and it will turn green. Keep going and good luck !

The tougher the terrain, the kinder the folks.
I suppose they know how much difference a helping hand can make if you are in a tough situation.
I hope to cross the city of Constantine, especially the bridges area
Most likely they are going to be staying away from the coastline until getting to Ras Angela, it's the most efficient route. Google maps suggests crossing the border at El Haddada.
@@atlaskinzel6560 Yes, you are right. Tunisia will end in one episode, and then it will reach and perhaps even enter the Guinness Book of World Records
Not all norders between Algeria and Tunisia are open to all nationalities some of them are only for tunisias and Algerians i hope they put this in mind @@atlaskinzel6560
I assumed he was going to be running through Batna. And I still think he will.
But I see that the route towards the coast and Annaba is only slightly longer, and about the same elevation changes. So it IS possible he will run that way. I don't think he will, but it is possible. And if he does, then he will pass through Bou Nouara, just south of Constantine.
@@18madjid When they got their visas, they were told by the president of Algeria that ALL border crossings will be open for them.
So I think they will be allowed to cross through, even if they choose a border crossing that is only open for locals.
Assuming, of course, that Tunisia allows them to enter there.
My country, Algeria 🇩🇿, is the size of a continent, so it's hard to traverse. Welcome to Algeria
The people Algeria have been incredible in their hospitality. I hope to visit one day, I hope others do as well.
@@FensFirewood Welcome brother yes you will find the same kind treatment we welcome guests
What ye said at 5:45, Its the opposite of that, The wind blows the sand high into to the air, which gives water something to freeze too. Then it gets heavy and falls back down.... There just happened to be enough moisture in the air...
Algeria just want you to rest and enjoy your stay instead of rushing it 😜
15:50 I can explain the currency in Algeria and Tunisia.
They both had a Dinar that was worth the same as the old French Franc. But when that become so devalued, Tunisia cut 4 zeroes, and Algeria cut 2 zeroes. So the Tunisian Dinar was worth about 100 times more than the Algerian Dinar.
However, even though they cut 4 and 2 zeroes, people still use the old currency in their normal speech. But they usually don't say the thousands.
So in Algeria, if people SAY that something cost 100, what they MEAN is that it cost 100,000 old Dinars. Which is 1000 new Dinars.
And in Tunisia, if people SAY that something cost 100, what they MEAN is that it cost 100,000 old Dinars. Which is 10 new Dinars. Which is approximately the same as 1000 new Algerian Dinars.
I was rather surprised when I was buying my sim card in Algeria, and they wanted 100,000 Dinars. Knowing that €1 was about 200 Dinars, I was wondering if the sim card was going to cost me €500. Fortunately they only took 1000 Dinars out of my wallet, which was about €5.
u are very impressive sir, how do you know so much about these countries ?
@@messaoudihouda7867 Partly because I have been there, and partly because I was wondering what the f* was up with the way to describe money in both countries. So I looked into it.
I should say, though, that currently the Tunisian Dinar is only worth about 40 times more than the Algerian Dinar. Not 100 times more, like I said.
But originally it was worth 100 times more. And I just wanted to explain the reason, and not get into too much details.
I can also mention that Sudan has a similar situation.
The original Sudanese Pound got devalued so much, that they cut 2 zeroes. But people kept using the old currency in their daily speech. So when people said something cost 100, they meant 100.000 old Sudanese Pounds. Which was equivalent to 1000 new Sudanese Pounds.
But then Sudan cut another zero from the currency. So now, when people say something cost 100, they mean 100.000 old Sudanese Pounds, which is equivalent to 100 new Sudanese Pounds. :-P
This is, in my opinion, why countries should in general cut THREE zeroes when their currency gets devalued too much.
Mauritania did the same mistake when they cut one zero from their currency. So when I was in Mauritania last time, it was a constant confusion as to whether people were talking about old Ouguiyas or new Ouguiyas. So if any Mauritanian authorities are reading this, I would suggest you cut another 2 zeroes from your currency, in order to stop this kind of confusion.
@@Tjalve70 Still, it's super impressive giving that there isnt much info about these countries online due to the lack of tourism. Do you have vlogs on yt or instagram page heck or even a discord would be nice. i would love to give you a follow
