Important Notes
Clothing: We recommend long-sleeves and long pants/skirts. Pack comfortable walking shoes and modest, loose-fitting attire for city and cultural visits. Ladies should bring a big scarf or shawl to cover their heads when entering mosques or conservative areas. Algeria is a year-round travel destination, though our desert camping and southern adventures are best enjoyed from October to April.
Local Etiquette: Respect local cultural norms—always ask before taking photos of people, especially women, and dress modestly. Treating local people with respect can open many doors and lead to wonderful, warm interactions from the Tuareg down south to the Berbers up north.
Environment: Dispose of trash properly (bins are rare in remote desert and rural areas, so always carry a small rubbish bag with you). Be deeply mindful of nature and the pristine desert environment around you, especially during your trek and camping nights in the Sahara.
Visa & Documents: Check visa requirements for Algeria based on your nationality (most visitors require a pre-arranged visa or invitation letter, which our team assists with). Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.
Cash & Payments: Most small shops, rural areas, and desert vendors prefer cash. ATMs can be found in major cities like Algiers and Constantine, but they can be unreliable or scarce elsewhere. Bring cash (such as Euros) to exchange for Algerian Dinars upon arrival. Carrying sufficient cash is strongly recommended.
Drivers and Local Guides: Your driver is focused on driving safely across varied terrains, while your local English-speaking guide is there to ensure you get rich information about Algeria’s history, culture, and sights. Be polite to everyone, and don’t forget to tip them at the end of the trip if you are happy with their service.
Hotels, Pensions & Desert Camps: Accommodations in Algeria offer a practical mix of comfortable standard hotels and charming local pensions or guest houses. They are clean, provide basic amenities, and support local communities directly. During your 5 days in the Sahara, you will experience authentic tented camping with mattresses provided (note that showers are not available in the deep desert camp). In some rural or traditional spots, hot water or bathroom setups may be simple, adding to the genuine nomadic adventure.
