A two-day plan for the capital: the Casbah, the bay, the best viewpoints and where to eat.
Most international flights arrive in Algiers, so it is worth giving the capital at least two days.
Start early in the upper Casbah, then work your way down past the Ketchaoua Mosque to the Dar Mustapha Pacha palace. Lunch on grilled fish near the port.
Take the cable car up to Notre-Dame d'Afrique for the view, spend the afternoon in the Hamma Botanical Garden and finish at the Martyrs' Memorial at sunset.
Trek or 4x4? Tent or open sky? What fitness, what kit, what paperwork? Everything to decide and prepare before your first nights in the Algerian Sahara.
Desert or coast, Roman cities or oases: the right season depends on where you go. A month-by-month guide to weather, festivals and crowds across Algeria.
From Neolithic paintings to Ottoman palaces, Algeria's seven World Heritage Sites span ten thousand years. Here is what each one is, why it matters and how to visit — plus the living traditions UNESCO also recognises.
