But if you’re going for pleasure. I’d still strongly advise you to give yourself plenty of time for delays…A fuel turn can easily take 4 hours….And you’ll clear customs/Immigration at each and every landing….

The area along the Algerian border is super sensitive at low level and authorizations for this area are really difficult to come by
170, I acknowledge your flight is a bit more recent than my last, but in my experience none of the above is correct. Fuel (100LL) was quick where available (in a couple of cases ATC enquired upon first contact and the bowser was ready on landing), I never had to clear immigration after the initial landing in Maroc and also had no probs getting clearance for Erg Shebbi. Maybe flying an F-reg helo (guessing that from you location) makes them a bit jumpier
