Rules in force · 3
- Algeria ↗Most visitors need a visa arranged in advance through an Algerian consulate, often with a hotel booking or invitation; check the current rules for your passport with the consulate.
- Algeria ↗Travel in the deep south (Tassili n'Ajjer, Hoggar) is generally done with a licensed local agency; check requirements before booking.
- Algeria ↗Declare foreign currency on arrival if required and exchange only at banks or official bureaux; keep receipts.
The central coast is one base and one or two day trips. Moving hotels every night wastes mornings; keep the Algiers room and take a day bag to Tipasa, then fly out for anything further.
