3. 今年的齋戒月(Ramadan)直到9/29，9/30-10/2國定假日。齋戒月期間，若參觀各開放景點，提早去，因為他們可能會提早休息。
Option 1:
全程自己走，不事先找Tour，到了Toezur後再去找「Douz, Ksar Ghilane, Tatouine & Matmata」類似組合的三天兩夜團。
優點：比較便宜。
缺點：
1. 如抵達Toezur是周末，店家可能沒開，也可能只有半天，這樣就甭找團了，得在Toezur多呆一天。
2. Pansea Hotel & Resorts沙漠帳棚旅館住不到，因為這都必須事先預定，且大部分都被團包走（頂級台灣團也會停留在此）。而透過當地旅行社去訂房間的價格會比較好。
3. 一般沙漠團的出團人數是7人，可能坐小巴，不一定是4X4 Jeep，若沒有其他人與我們需求的日期與路線相同，我們就可能出不了團，不然就是得付差額(也就是說，四人付七人費用)才出的了團。(小聲說：網路上讀到很多，到了當地再找團，絕對有，但很少讀到有人滿意的)。不知道當地找的團的內容是什麼？但讀Forum裡的心得，很難有個標準，很多都要額外charge。
Option 2:
沙漠部分行程包給旅行社。因為有四人，可以有一台屬於自己的Jeep，所以不需要因為人數不足而與他人併團。
缺點：就是費用比較高囉！
優點：
1. 前段的沙漠之旅，我們四人一台吉普車，不用併團，不搭小巴，還有自己的Guide，隨時要停要走都完全自己決定。
2. 包車期間，大部份的早晚餐都包了。
3. 可以住到夢幻沙漠帳棚旅館Pansea Hotel & Resorts。
4. Agent會來機場接機(費用已包括)，但若坐夜車，就沒Pick-up了！自己搭計程車到飯店(TD5)，或是走路到不遠的市區。
其他：
發inquiry給多家旅行社，再來比較價格。但必須說明的是，有時價格取勝並不代表是最好！尤其在非洲些靠觀光維生的國家，因為這裡真的是「一分錢一分貨」，便宜的絕對有暗樁，這是Shireen在埃及與越南旅行時所學到的教訓！
