Safe. Beautiful. Affordable. You will enjoy your time. It's better to stay in the capital near the transport links. Bank cards aren't frequently used, so it's preferable to bring cash or exchange money upon arrival in Algeria. You're very welcome.

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.
Posted: November 23, 2025Algiers is mostly a safe city , you just need to avoid shady neighbourhoods and you ll be fine , it’s also nice to have a local friend or guide to help you around , you dont have to worry about scammers cause there is almost none , when it comes to sexual harassment you should avoid crowded public transports cause a lot of men will try to get closer to you there , also prepare yourselves for the catcallers cause there are a lot , but in general it’s nice and if you dress modest in public cities and avoid attention no one will bother you , there are a lot of places where you can dress however you like and no one will say a thing so you need to know where are these spots so you could enjoy your time without being bothered. For example on public beaches you can’t wear bikinis and if you do you will get harassed cause they aren’t used to seeing women in bikinis , but if you wear it on a private beach it’s totally safe and you ll find a lot of women doing the same .

Algiers is Safe , youbjust need to be carful Keep in mind that men in the streets are gonna talk to you and bother you but its not dangerous They are just gonna piss you off if you know what i mean But over all if you wear something modest it is safe

It’s pretty much safe, no one will harm you physically but you will constantly get cat called, probably followed and harassed too .. I don’t recommend going out alone at night as a group of girls or solo, try to avoid buses(some men WILL try and touch you). Try to stay in busy areas and AVOID using indrive, use the yellow taxis, heetch or yassir Oh i forgot one more last thing, phone theft is very common so watch out!!

It depends on the place you are, but it's generally fine. You need to be careful as you would anywhere in the world. Prefer well-known and lively places like Val d'Hydra, Ben Aknoun, Hydra, Dely Brahim, Sidi Yahia, and Algiers Center.
