Algeria

Exercise Increased Caution​

  • Crime rates in Algeria are moderate, with common issues including petty theft, scams—especially online romance and financial scams targeting foreigners—and occasional harassment of women.
  • Do not travel near the borders with Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Tunisia due to high threats of terrorism and kidnapping. 
  • Reconsider traveling to Kabylie and the provinces of Annaba, Béchar, Biskra, El Bayadh, El Taref, Jijel, Khenchela, Laghouat, Skikda, and Souk Ahras due to threats of terrorism and kidnapping. 
  • Exercised increased caution elsewhere in Algeria.
