Lower score (below 6)
In Salah sits in the flat Saharan interior and holds a credible claim to being one of the hottest inhabited places on earth — ground temperatures regularly exceed 70°C in July and August, and even spring nights are brutal. The local economy is tied to the Krechba gas field operated by the Sonatrach and BP consortium, meaning any strangers in town are assumed to be energy sector workers, which brings its own level of scrutiny from security services. The Chaamba and Berber population is deeply conservative and largely insular; there is no social scene, no alcohol anywhere, and foreign men without professional reasons to be here stand out immediately. There is no play here.
