Algeria barato: Guía low cost 2025
Descubre cómo visitar Algeria con poco presupuesto sin sacrificar la experiencia.
Algeria is the largest country in Africa and the Mediterranean basin, stretching from the fertile northern coasts and the Atlas mountain ranges to the infinite depths of the Sahara Desert. It stands out for hosting seven sites declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, including the canyons and ancient rock art of Tassili n'Ajjer, the best preserved Roman cities on the planet (Timgad and Djemila), the Mozabite architecture of the M'Zab Valley, the mythical city of Constantine suspended over rocky gorges, and a rich Berber (Amazigh), Ottoman, Hispanic and Arab heritage.

Tourist Visas and Facilitation for the Sahara
To visit the northern regions (Algiers, Constantine, Oran) foreign travelers need to apply for a standard tourist visa at the Algerian consulate in their country of origin. To travel to the South Sahara (Djanet, Tamanrasset, Taghit), the government offers a 'Visa on Arrival' system managed compulsorily through an authorized local Algerian travel agency that issues the official invitation letter.
Currency and Exchange System (Algerian Dinar)
The official currency is the Algerian Dinar (DZD). The use of international credit cards is extremely limited to large international chain hotels in Algiers or Oran. It is essential to travel with enough cash in Euros (€) or Dollars (USD), which can be legally exchanged at official banks and exchange offices, or use the widespread informal exchange market ('Square Port-Saïd' in Algiers).
Internal Transportation and Domestic Flights
Given the colossal size of the country, the fastest and most efficient way to connect the cities of the north with the Saharan oases and enclaves of the south is the extensive domestic flight network of the national airline Air Algérie. For intercity routes in the north (such as Algiers-Oran or Algiers-Constantine), the national railway company (SNTF) operates modern, comfortable and punctual trains.
