She visited the North African country last April for 18 days, exploring eight cities and\u00a0venturing into the desert.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<article class=\"story full article-type clearfix\" data-history-node-id=\"383126\">\n<div class=\"field field-body clearfix\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Algeria had been on Isac\u2019s travel bucket list for years. Its\u00a0lack of popularity\u00a0as a tourist destination only added to its appeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Algeria caught my attention years ago as the largest African country and for being less touristy, primarily due to the visa process. I searched online but found limited blogs or vlogs about it. However, the few I did find impressed me with the country\u2019s diversity and beauty,&#8221; she told Middle East Eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Isac&#8217;s curiosity about Algeria grew further when she met two Algerian women during a trip to Senegal. They provided her with more information about the country and encouraged her to take the leap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They sent her an invitation letter, which she included in her visa application, and helped her plan the trip before welcoming her to Algiers.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From the capital to the southern city of Tamanrasset, Isac had the opportunity to explore a variety of places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;[Algeria] has everything: turquoise seas with beautiful beaches, cities with stunning architecture and history, vast deserts and mountains. The people are kind\u00a0and it\u2019s very affordable,&#8221; she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I don\u2019t speak Arabic or French &#8211; only a few words and sentences &#8211; but this wasn\u2019t a problem. Most young people I met could speak English, and even when they couldn\u2019t, we managed to communicate in a non-verbal way,&#8221; she recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Beyond the cultural diversity and varied landscapes, Isac was most struck by the people, whom she described as &#8220;the essence of Algeria&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;One day, we went to the Kasbah [the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/discover\/algeria-algiers-five-must-visit-destinations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">old city<\/a>\u00a0of Algiers], where I wore the Karakou and the Haik. People gave us keys to rooms so I could put on those traditional clothes for a photo shoot. Others stopped to help, give compliments and take pictures. There were lots of smiles and welcomes,&#8221; she told MEE.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"media-block\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"group-inner\">\n<div class=\"group-inner\">\n<div class=\"embedded-entity\" data-embed-button=\"file_browser\" data-entity-embed-display=\"image:image\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"76ca81ad-f032-4bc5-af91-d3337663fc2b\" data-langcode=\"en\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/algeria-tourism-Laura-Ioana-Isac-2_0.jpg\" alt=\"\u2018The kindness of strangers in Algeria left a lasting impression on me\u2019 - traveller Laura Ioana Isac (provided)\" width=\"1043\" height=\"973\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018The kindness of strangers in Algeria left a lasting impression on me\u2019, said traveller Laura Ioana Isac (provided)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;This trip taught me the importance of human connections and how travel can break down stereotypes and build bridges between cultures. The kindness of strangers in Algeria left a lasting impression on me, reinforcing the idea that hospitality is a universal language,&#8221; Isac reflected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She documented every detail of her trip on her Instagram\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/laura_calatoreste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">account<\/a>, where she has over 30,000 followers. Reels and photos show the traveller strolling through the streets of Algeria in traditional clothing, her tattoo-covered arms visible through them &#8211; a striking contrast that did not go unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I felt safe, with people often greeting me with welcome or marhaba [hello].\u00a0The only uncomfortable aspect was the catcalling, which occurred even when I was not alone. Every woman I met in Algeria experienced it, even those who wore hijabs,&#8221; she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8216;Algerians don&#8217;t see us as walking wallets&#8217;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Scenes of tourists exploring the streets of Algeria are becoming more common, especially as globetrotters such as Isac share their experiences on social media through engaging content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Located between the popular tourist destinations of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/countries\/morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morrocco<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/countries\/tunisie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tunisia<\/a>, Algeria has long been known for its relative insularity. Unlike its neighbours, the country does not get a lot of tourists knocking at its door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is partly due to its visa process and the lasting effects of a decade-long civil war in the 1990s. Recently, however, Algeria has begun to heal its scars and enhance its touristic image to attract more visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to its tourism ministry, Algeria\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algerie-eco.com\/2024\/05\/21\/didouche-800-000-touristes-etrangers-ont-visite-lalgerie-durant-le-premier-trimestre-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recorded<\/a>\u00a0an influx of 800,000 tourists during the first trimester of 2024. Last year, the country welcomed 3.3 million tourists, including 2.2 million foreign tourists and 1.1 million from the Algerian diaspora.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The government aims to welcome more than 12 million foreign visitors by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8216;[Algeria] has everything: turquoise seas with beautiful beaches, cities with stunning architecture and history, vast deserts and mountains. The people are kind and it\u2019s very affordable&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>&#8211; Laura Ioana Isac, Romanian globetrotter<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To reach this goal, Algeria\u2019s government has introduced several measures, including exempting foreign tourists from visa requirements for visits to the south and offering automatic\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/algeria-lures-tourists-easy-access-sahara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visa renewals on arrival. \u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While these changes are seen as a significant step towards easing the burden on tourists, they\u00a0currently only apply to those visiting the Algerian desert with government-accredited agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To explore the rest of the country, tourists must still apply for a visa from their country of residence,\u00a0providing standard documents like bank statements and hotel and flight reservations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But what often discourages potential visitors are the rumours of frequent visa refusals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite these concerns, an increasing number of tourists are undeterred, with some even reporting a surprisingly smooth process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Tourists are immediately charmed by the people. They are surprised by the human connection they experience in Algeria. They are not objectified as they are in neighbouring countries,&#8221; Aissam Slimani, a 28-year-old local guide from Algiers, told MEE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia rely heavily on tourism for their local economies. In Algeria, we live off oil. We see tourists as guests who must not be mistreated or have a bad experience,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;A French visitor once told me that in other places, they are seen as walking wallets, which is not the case in Algeria. On the contrary, tourists tend to eat for free as many restaurants refuse to charge them. Many are also invited over for a meal by locals,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A graduate in architecture, Slimani has been working as a local guide since 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In October 2022, he founded\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"mailto:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vizitina.dz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his agency, Vizitina<\/a>, which provides guided visits around Algiers and neighbouring cities such as Tipaza, 61km from the capital and a main tourist attraction due to its Roman ruins that were classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1982.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8216;Return-to-roots tourism&#8217;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks to his command of three foreign languages, namely French, English and Spanish, Slimani quickly gained popularity as a guide\u00a0among tourists. His agency\u2019s Instagram page boasts nearly 20,000 followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yet, foreign tourists are not his only clients. Slimani points out a growing interest in Algeria tourism among Algerians themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Interest in domestic tourism arose during the Covid-19 pandemic that maintained the borders closed for a year and a half, leaving Algerians without the option to travel abroad for vacations,&#8221; he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Slimani also notes another emerging trend, which he refers to as &#8220;return-to-roots tourism&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;More than 7 million Algerians live abroad, which represents a huge potential for tourism in Algeria because these are people who want to return to discover their origins and their culture. It\u2019s a tourism that reconnects with roots,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Algerian government also recognises the significance of this type of tourism as it tries to attract the diaspora abroad as much as foreign tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mee-readmore mee-readmore-article-story mee-readmore-type-image align-right\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"mee-readmore-img-link\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/algeria-lures-tourists-easy-access-sahara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mee-readmore-image\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Algeria-tuareg-sahara-Tamanrasset-afp-2016.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mee-readmore-description\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Algeria lures tourists to Sahara with easy visas and new flight routes<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"mee-readmore-link\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/algeria-lures-tourists-easy-access-sahara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More \u00bb<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last May, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad announced that members of the Algerian diaspora could now enter Algeria simply by presenting their Algerian identity card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The country also welcomed hundreds of children from the diaspora for summer holidays in a joint initiative between the Grand Mosque of Paris and the Algerian Ministry of Youth and Sports. A similar programme was held in April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As some members of the diaspora develop a growing interest in tourism within Algeria, others see this boom as a unique opportunity for investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One such individual is Omar Benbahlouli, a 43-year-old dual citizen born in\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/countries\/france\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">France<\/a>. In December 2023, he opened the guesthouse\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/larosedes.sables_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La Rose des Sables<\/a>\u00a0(the desert rose) in Bou Saada, located at the gateway to the Algerian desert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Benbahlouli admitted that he did not anticipate the success of his guesthouse, nor did he realise the tourist appeal of Bou Saada until after the opening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I did not know tourists were attracted by Bou Saada and I did not believe the project of a guesthouse would succeed. I was encouraged by acquaintances without being really motivated, and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome,&#8221; he told MEE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The guesthouse has since enjoyed considerable success. &#8220;Half of the clients are locals, then dual citizens and the rest are foreigners. I\u2019ve received Chinese, Americans, Saudis, native French people and Egyptians,&#8221; Benbahlouli shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Despite his success, Benbahlouli points out a lot of loopholes that need to be addressed for Algeria to become a major tourist destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;As a person who has travelled a lot, I notice that Algerians are hospitable, but they don\u2019t have a tourism expertise yet. I travelled around the country and met some hotel staff who seemed untrained on how to serve a customer properly,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018Tourists are immediately charmed by the people.
