ALGERIA – Exercise a high degree of caution
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Algeria. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to recent unrest.
Regional Advisory for travel outside major urban centres in Algeria
Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against all travel outside major urban centres in Algeria.
Terrorist attacks, bandit activity and kidnappings occur in the mountainous region of Kabylia, which includes the wilayas (provinces) of Tizi Ouzou, Bouira, Boumerdes and Bejaia.
Armed groups operate in the remote desert areas in the wilayas of Illizi, Tamanrasset, Adrar and Tindouf that border the countries of Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Libya, and there is a risk of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
