By Air
You can fly from Algeria to Europe, the Middle
East, and West Africa. There are no direct flights
to the Americas, Asia, or Oceania. Daily flights
to Casablanca and Tunis.
Algeria's national airline is Air Algérie
(AH). Other airlines serving Algeria are Balkan,
Egyptair, Royal Air Maroc, Saudia, Syrian Arab
Airlines, and Tunis Air. International airports
are Algiers (ALG) (Houari Boumediène) which
is about 12 miles (20km) east of Algiers. Buses
and trains will get you into the city in about
30 minutes and operate from 0600-1900. Taxis are
also available. |

By Road
The main road entry points are Maghnia (Morocco),
Souk-Ahras, Tebessa and El Kala (Tunisia), Fort
Thiriet (Libya), In Guezzam (Niger) and Bordj
Mokhtar (Mali). There is a pretty good network
of paved roads in the coastal regions and paved
roads also connect the major towns in the northern
Sahara. Further south, the only really good roads
are the stretches of paved roads on the two trans-Saharan
'highways', one of which runs to the west through
Reggane and up through Morocco to the coast, and
the other through Tamanrasset and Djanet and on
to Ghardaia and Algiers. Please note that many
desert 'roads' are not what you might expect,
but rather, up to 6 mile-wide (10km) areas of
unimproved desert that are suitable only for well-maintained
4-wheel-drive vehicles.
Coach services, run by National Travel and Transport
Company, offer international routes to Tunisia
and Morocco.
