Is Algeria safe for solo female travelers?

Traveling alone in Algeria as a female should be done with caution. Like many destinations, the experience can greatly depend on the areas you choose to frequent and your behavior. Always consider local customs, avoid remote places, do not travel at night, and be aware of your surroundings. Although terrorism attacks are less frequent these days, there is still a risk of criminal activities. Use trusted, local, and professional guides in the Sahara areas to improve safety and experiences. Despite these challenges, many parts of Algeria have a lot to offer in terms of culture, heritage, and scenery.

How safe is Algeria for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

3.3 /5

based on 9 experiences from female travelers

Taghazout, Couple travel

Taghazout was great and offered a much needed rest from the bustling streets of Marrakesh. I travelled here with my boyfriend, who speaks Arabic, so it was much easier to blend in with the local. I however found Taghazout very touristy and you could hear German or Wnglish everywhere. At 26 years old, I felt too old to be there 😅

Oran, Couple travel

Being in a new city, walking without a plan, laughing freely and meeting new people opened my heart in ways I didn’t know I needed.It reminded me that life expands when you let yourself out there and never let fear control your decisions🫶

Algiers

If you don't have a local with you (preferably male) pls don't come! as a local and a hijabi I can assure you that it's rlly uncomfortable, cat calling is everywhere and if you use public transportation there's a 70% chance you'll get groped. I'd recommend going for an expensive hotel and city like Hydra or sidi yahia, it's safer and women there are more free. Again, a male guide (+companion) is extremely recommended, don't even think about it esp if you look western? solo travelling is on a hard level.

Bejaia is a small town and people are very friendly and welcoming. Tourist comme often in the summer and other times of the year. That make it a city open to new visitors. It’s is all so a town visited by the others locals for its safety and security.

About me

Hi sisters 🌹👑💎 My name is Amina, I’m 38, and I’m from Algeria. I am a strong believer in a world without borders so I’d love to meet up, explore, or even find a kind host during my journey. I’m planning to visit Córdoba, Málaga, Granada, and Sévilla, and I’d love to connect with locals or fellow travelers. A little about me: I work in diplomacy, love art therapy, painting, volunteering, hiking, yoga... I enjoy discovering new cultures, exploring nature, attending workshops and conferences and visiting museums and art galleries. Adventurely yours, 🥰
