FAQ — Algeria Tours

Everything you need to know before booking your Algeria adventure with Roza Tour.

Is Algeria safe for tourists in 2026?

Since 2019, not one Roza Tour traveller has had a security incident. Official UK and US travel advice restricts only the border areas — our safety guide has the details. Read our safety guide, with the official UK and US travel advice →

Do I need a visa to visit Algeria?

Most visitors do. For trips that include the Sahara there is a visa-on-arrival: you fill in by hand the form we send you and pay a €40 fee (waived for groups of more than 10). For other trips we give you an invitation letter for the embassy: €20 per person, non-refundable, free for groups of more than 6 travellers. You do not need to pay for your flights or the tour before applying. Learn more about our visa support →

What is the best time to visit Algeria?

The best months are March–May and October–November — mild temperatures across the north and comfortable desert nights in the Sahara. July and August are very hot in the interior (40 °C+) but perfect for coastal Algiers and Oran. Winter (December–February) is magical in the Sahara with clear skies.

What currency is used in Algeria?

The Algerian Dinar (DZD) is the local currency. Our tours are priced in Euros for your convenience. ATMs in major cities accept Visa/Mastercard, but we recommend bringing some Euro or USD cash to exchange locally, especially for Sahara trips where ATMs are scarce.

What languages are spoken in Algeria?

Arabic and Tamazight (Berber) are the official languages. French is widely spoken in cities and business contexts. Our guides speak Arabic, French, English, Italian, German and Spanish, so you will always have someone who can help you communicate.

What should I pack for an Algeria tour?

Lightweight, modest clothing (covering shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites), comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and a scarf for dusty Sahara conditions. We recommend a small daypack and a reusable water bottle. We provide full packing lists after booking.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancel 15 days or more before the trip for a full refund; from 14 days to 48 hours before, 75% is refunded; from 48 to 24 hours before, 50%. Within 7 days of booking you can move your trip to other dates at no charge. Read our full cancellation policy →

Are meals included in the tour price?

It depends on the package — each tour page clearly states what is included (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or all meals). Most multi-day Sahara tours include all meals. Day tours typically include lunch only. We cater for vegetarian and halal diets — just let us know at booking.

What sites will I visit in Algeria?

Algeria holds 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Sahara Tassili n'Ajjer rock art, the Roman ruins at Timgad and Djémila, the historic Casbah of Algiers, the M'Zab Valley, and the ancient city of Tipasa. We also run Sahara trips to Djanet, Timimoun and Ghardaïa, and city tours of Algiers, Constantine and Oran.

What is the group size for tours?

Every trip is private: just you and the people you travel with, whether you are one traveller, a couple, a family or a larger group. Each trip can be adjusted to your itinerary and pace.
