Best time to visit Algeria
Algeria is one of the largest countries in Africa. The best time to visit Algeria is generally from November to April. However, the climate varies greatly from north to south. The northern coastal area has a favourable Mediterranean climate, while the highlands south of the coast have hot summers and cold winters with little rain.
The southern part has a typical desert climate with hot dry summer days and mild rainy winters. It is best to avoid this region in summer, unless you can stand the heat.
Sirocco winds

It is very hot here, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees. However, if you like hot and dry climates, this is ideal.— This text has been automatically translated into English
Sunny but not too hot, perfect for sightseeing. However, the lack of beaches and the sea does not make this an ideal summer swimming destination. The heat required constant hydration, especially in the afternoon. Less suitable for outdoor activities. Temperatures varied between -1° and -10°C. Despite the cold, the clear skies were breathtaking at times. Temperatures regularly rose above 30 degrees, perfect for a beach holiday. We enjoyed hours of swimming in the incredibly clear sea. Unforgettable!— This text has been automatically translated into English
