Algeria Travel

Algeria travel will not be an option on many travel agent's itineraries, but people are always curious about the place.

At the end of the 1980's many travellers still enjoyed the Peugeot run to West Africa by way of Algeria, or came across the desert on motorbikes.

Not any more. The Paris-Dakar rally has had to avoid the country too, and so would most people if they had any sense.

News From Algeria:
Disturbing massacres are full of contradictions, as always. The CNN anchor has a hard time with the Algerian minister, who accuses Amnesty International of inflating the figures and not knowing the full story.
