Algeria

Algeria (Arabic: Al Jaza’ir), officially the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, is the second largest country on the African continent and the 11th largest country in the world in. It is bordered by Tunisia to the northeast, Libya to the east, Niger to the southeast, Mali and Mauritania to the southwest, the Western Sahara to the west, Morocco in the northwest, and the Mediterranean Sea in the north.

Scarred by years of civil war, Algeria is gradually emerging from its turbulent recent past as a unique destination for adventure travellers. With its picture postcard fishing ports, verdant olive groves, lush oases, the majestic Hoggar Mountains, and the vast Sahara Desert covering some 80% of its territory, this is the biggest country in North Africa. Home to a rich mosaic of European, Arab and Berber cultures, it’s awash with ancient citadels and buzzing metropolis, steeped in history that spans Phoenicians, Romans, Umayyid Arab dynasties, Ottoman Sultans, Barbary Pirates, Spanish Conquistadors, and French “pied-noir” colonialists.
