Best Time To Travel To Algeria

Algeria is the largest country on the African continent with 80% of the land occupied by the Sahara desert. Although Algeria is an expansive country, we recommend visiting anywhere from March to May and from September to November. These are the best times to experience the whole country without unbearable Saharan temperatures or humid coastal winters. Algeria has an array of landscapes from desert to plains to mountains, and you can experience it all!

Take a tour into the Sahara to an oasis or journey through the world’s largest Kasbah. Enjoy an afternoon in a hammam, scarf down delicious street food, or hit some trails in the Atlas Mountains. Visit Roman ruins, Berber Tombs, and beautiful bays, Algeria will not disappoint.
