Rules in force · 10Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…The Casbah is stairs and narrow lanes
- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- North Africa ↗Plan links between North African countries by air or by ferry via Europe; the only regularly usable land borders for visitors are Tunisia–Algeria and Morocco–Mauritania via Western Sahara.
- North Africa ↗Book Saharan nights (dunes, desert camps, oasis tours) between October and April; from May to September desert day temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C and many tours stop.
- 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.
- Algiers and the central coast ↗Drive between towns in daylight only; police checkpoints are common, so keep your passport with you.
- Algiers ↗The Casbah is stairs and narrow lanes: bags stay at the hotel and the walk goes with a local guide.
- Algiers ↗Foreign cards are rarely accepted: exchange euros at a bank or hotel bureau before you need cash.
