Algeria, the second largest country in Africa boasts some of Africa's most magnificent scenery. The great expanses of the Sahara desert contain a surprising range of landscapes: great seas of sand dunes, mazes of rocky pinnacles, ancient cave art, colourful Tuareg nomads, oasis, flowers and the occasionally snow-capped Hoggar mountains. In the north green hills and Mediterranean coastline also contain some magnificent Roman / Berber ruins.
After a years of turmoil fighting French then pro-Islamic factions the country has enjoyed peace in the 21st Century and is rapidly catching up on the lost years. With its plentiful oil and mineral wealth and stable political atmosphere the economy is growing rapidly.

Our trips are based on daily flights available to Djanet or Tamanrasset from Algiers or Paris.

Visas:
It is recommended to apply for your Algerian Visa at least a month before your travel date unless you are using a visa agency:

Health:
There are no major health hazards associated with a visit to Algeria but it is worth checking the situation and your health with your doctor before your visit. Care must be taken when drinking water, although water in Tamanrasset and Djanet is good other sources may well be drinkable but if unaccustomed to it you may experience short term stomach upsets.

Language:
Arabic is the official language of Algeria, though French is widely known and Tamazight (Berber) is spoken by the majority of the population.

Money:
There are no major problems changing money in a town such as Algiers, Tamanrasset or Djanet.
