We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Algeria overall. Higher levels apply in some areas. Do not travel to the areas that border Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Libya and Tunisia due to the high threat of terrorism and kidnapping. You must get a visa in advance of arrival to enter Algeria. Only tourists arriving and departing by cruise ship can get visas on arrival (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Algeria overall due to the threat of terrorism and kidnapping.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
