Algeria

The largest country in Africa, with the wonders of the Sahara, a Mediterranean coastline and numerous Roman ruins.

Algeria lies in the Maghreb region of North Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean to the north, with most of the south covered by the Sahara. In the capital, Algiers, the old Casbah is a World Heritage Site; Roman sites such as Timgad, Djémila and Tipasa are well preserved; and the oasis towns of the M'Zab Valley and the prehistoric rock art and strange landforms of Tassili n'Ajjer are breathtaking. Spring and autumn are best in the north, while the desert is best visited in winter. The main gateway is Houari Boumediene International Airport in Algiers, with other airports at Oran, Constantine and elsewhere.
