Introduction
Foreign visitors are advised to avoid all of Algeria (except for the Sahara desert and mountainous regions in the south, which are usually free of terrorist activity) unless on essential business.
For the purposes of this section, the country has been divided into two regions. The North includes the 1200km-long (750-mile) coastal strip, along which Algiers and Oran are situated, and the highlands of the Hauts Plateaux, immediately to the south. The second half of this guide covers the Sahara, which accounts for the largest part of Algeria’s territory.
