Argelia drive own car
In December we are going to visit Tunisia in our own car and then we want to visit the north of Algeria
I would like to know if you can go with the car, if you need a reservation or if you need an agency that accompanies you
What would be the best point to cross the border with Algeria?
Thank you

What nationality are you ?
The last time I enquired ( pre-Covid ) I would have needed a hotel booking or an invitation in order to get the visa ( French passport holder ). Visas ARE NOT issued at the border. Also bear in mind that it is ( was ) virtually impossible to get the Algerian visa outside of your country of residence ( applying at the Algerian consulate in Tunis would be a bad idea ).
As far as I know you are free to roam pretty much wherever you want in the north of the country.
That doesn't mean that you'll travel alone all the time, though.
The local gendarmerie may decide to escort you in some areas, or deter you from setting up camp in the wild ( with a smile ).
Go if you can. Algeria is in my opinion the friendliest country in North Africa.

cross the border with a visa
Thank you Levelo
I am Spanish, my idea is to go with the visa before traveling.
According to what I had understood before the pandemic, an invitation was necessary, I suppose that has not changed. I hope I can get it from a hotel reservation.
According to the link above, it says that the border has only been opened for Tunisians or Algerians, not for foreign citizens, I don't know if it could be done with a visa or not?
I was thinking of crossing the border through bou chebka or through Ras el Ayoun
Which border crossing is better, faster, safer?
thank you

Hey,
According to this article 9 border posts have fully reopened :
https://www.france24.com/fr/afrique/...x-ans-de-covid
There is no mention of third party nationalities being excluded so I'd say that is a green light for you.
The only border post that most probably is a no go is Taleb Larbi ( on the El Oued to Tozeur road ). As far as I know the Algerian authorities don't let tourists roam on their own in that part of the country.
You'd need a guide.
You should phone one of the Algerian consulates in Spain to check what the latest visa requirements are.
I'm also considering going back later this year ( ferry from Marseilles with my trusted bicycle on it ).
