Overview

Algeria

Renowned for its sublime Sahara covering over 80% of the surface area, Algeria offers between its ergs and oasis, breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains, the Chelif Valley or the Lalla-Khadidja mountain in Kabylia. Apart from its incredible geographic assets, Algeria equally abounds in vast cultural riches thanks to its history that blends both Arabic and Berber traditions. Jealous of its authenticity, Al-Jaza'ir took its time before opening up to tourism. In spite of the terrorism risk, Algiers, Oran, Constantine and Bejaia are today secure areas just like the other areas with tourist routes of the Grand South of Algeria that is such a treat to the eyes: Tamanrasset, Timimoun, Bechar... with their unchanging splendours.

Algeria Algeria, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Over the last years, Algeria had completely disappeared from the catalogues of French tour operators. Presently, it would still be a hasty decision to travel there. If you want to do so, use the services of a specialised tour operator. Air Algérie links up London-Djanet or London-Tamanrasset, with a mandatory stopover at Algiers. A connecting flight is always available in the day or at night at Algiers. Prepare a valid insurance policy (some contracts exclude risky areas like Algeria) and a substantial budget (close to 47 pounds per day excluding flight ticket).
