Exploring Algeria, Africa’s largest country, requires careful planning as distances between cities are vast. Air Algérie remains the most efficient option for covering ground, especially when heading south to Saharan gems like Djanet and Tamanrasset. However, for those feeling adventurous, road trips reveal hidden beaches and mountain villages, though checkpoints and the country’s cash-only car rental system require extra preparation. Travelers can also connect with Tuareg culture through camel treks, which support local nomadic communities. In cities, ridesharing apps such as Yassir and inDrive offer safer, more reliable alternatives to taxis. Meanwhile, buses and trains provide budget options, though delays are common, and accessibility remains limited for travelers with reduced mobility. Whether soaring over dunes or navigating chaotic streets, Algeria rewards the prepared traveler with unforgettable adventures!
