Because of false articles of Algeria political enemies many think that Algeria is dangerous, but the visa is hard to protect the country after wjat happend to the 90s and because of similar treatment , meaning if ur country doesn't allow Algerians easily Algeria wouldn't allow u to enter easily too especially since we don't use tourism for our economy, otherwise Algeria is one of the safest destinations in Africa and the World, Welcome to Algeria 🇩🇿❤️

Just to correct something, the Algerian Mauritanian border isn't closed at all, even foreigners do cross it.

@Tjalve70 5 ай бұрын

DID. Not DO. I am one of those foreigners who crossed that border. In fact, I was a part of the third group of tourists EVER to use that border crossing since it opened. But after Morocco killed half a dozen truck drivers with drones and rockets, the border has been closed for tourists again. I'm guessing probably not more than a dozen tourist groups were able to cross it while it was open. Additionally, I am not sure if ANY tourists have crossed that border from the south. So they may be the first ones to do it from the south. However, the main reason why the border is closed for tourists, is because all of northern Mauritania is now off limits for tourists, due to Moroccan drones. We can hope it will open up again, but only time will tell.
