Yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/algeria\">Algeria<\/a>. It may just be the best destination you never knew you wanted to visit. The largest country in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/africa\">Africa<\/a>\u00a0has its head in the Mediterranean and feet deep into the Sahara.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria is home to spectacular landscapes and important Roman archaeological sites. It is so rich in beauty and natural resources that when the French occupied it in the 19th century, they made it a province of France, with the same status as Paris or Provence. Algeria used to make vast amounts of wine; prides itself on the brilliance of its cuisine, in particular couscous; and has a very lively music scene. So why haven\u2019t we all visited?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it&#8217;s the shadow of the Algerian Civil War (1992 \u2013 2002), known as the Black Decade in Algeria; or maybe because Algeria is also rich in oil and gas, so it is not dependent on tourism. But as yet, mass tourism has bypassed Algeria, which is why it\u2019s catching attention \u2013 as long as you have the patience to get through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/news\/algeria-visa-travel\">visa application<\/a>\u00a0process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-12 border-l-2 border-blue-400 bg-blue-100 p-8\"><em>Discover the world&#8217;s most intriguing experiences with our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/newsletter?utm_source=lparticle&amp;utm_medium=lp+site&amp;utm_campaign=email\">weekly newsletter<\/a>\u00a0delivered straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/div>\n<figure class=\"my-12\">\n<div class=\"bg-black-100\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full h-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GettyImages-1034252662.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GettyImages-1034252662.jpg 1x, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GettyImages-1034252662.jpg 2x\" alt=\"Sunbathers at a beach Marsah Ben M'hidi, Algeria\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"mt-2 font-mono text-xs\">In the summer locals head for coastal towns like Marsah Ben M&#8217;hidi \u00a9 Samere Fahim Photography \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"h2style\">When should I go to Algeria?<\/h2>\n<p>Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons to visit. Winters along the Mediterranean coast can be cold and wet, and desert nights are icy. It is also best to avoid summer, when temperatures in the Sahara can get into the 50\u00b0C (122\u00b0F), crowds of expat Algerians return for a holiday and the coast becomes crowded.<\/p>\n<p>In spring and autumn, the weather is ideal for touring and hotel rates are lower than the summer peak. The only time you might want to avoid is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/articles\/holy-month-of-ramadan\">Ramadan<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 finding food can be a problem and transport slows right down.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2style\">How long should I spend in Algeria?<\/h2>\n<p>How much time have you got? You could happily spend a week travelling across the north of the country, west from Algiers to Tipaza, Cherchell and Oran, and then east towards Constantine and Anaba. But Algeria is vast and to get into the desert takes time. You need two weeks to take in the north and pop to the desert. If you want to get deeper into the desert, you will need three weeks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-12\">\n<div class=\"bg-black-100\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full h-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GettyImages-1438969537.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1_GettyImages-1438969537.jpg 1x, https:\/\/jazairhope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GettyImages-1438969537.jpg 2x\" alt=\"A man on a platform of Algiers Metro\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"mt-2 font-mono text-xs\">Algiers&#8217; Metro will get you around quickly with 14 stations across the city \u00a9 Makrouf Walid \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"h2style\">Is it easy to get in and around Algeria?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/algeria\/algiers\">Algiers<\/a>\u00a0is where most international flights arrive, although you can sometimes fly into Tamanrasset and the deep desert.

Once in Algeria, transport links across the country are good. Trains run across the north coast from Algiers to Oran, five hours to the west and to Annaba in the east, with sleeping cars on some routes.<\/p>\n<p>You can fly the length and breadth of the country, but there is also an extensive bus network. There are also shared taxis (taxi brousse), faster than buses.

Timimoun is 750 miles south of Algiers, but if that isn\u2019t far enough, continue south another 750 miles to Tamarasset. This is a great base to explore the desert and the Hoggar Mountains.
