Overview
Getting into Algeria is easy enough, with flights from Europe and within Africa flying directly to Algiers or Tamanrasset (in the south). The only advisable sea port is Algiers and there are ferries linking the capital with Marseilles in France and Alicante in Spain. Land crossings are altogether less reliable and riskier, with the Moroccan border closed, the Tunisian and Libyan crossings unsafe and borders with Mali and Mauritiana in the south frequently closed. Train services to Tlemcen (for Morocco) and Tunis (Tunisia), are currently suspended.
