Algeria is open to leisure tourists and is getting more international attention, but travel is still fairly high-friction and often works best with advance planning or organized trips. Security concerns are real in border and Sahara areas, and travelers should expect visa, payment, and logistics hassles even when the trip is otherwise feasible.
