Overview
Algeria is a relatively affordable destination for international travelers, particularly for food and local transport, which remain inexpensive due to government subsidies. Accommodation is typically the largest expense, with decent mid-range hotels in Algiers costing noticeably more than in neighboring countries. The official exchange rate and limited tourism infrastructure can make some services pricier than expected for what you receive.
Notes
Use local buses and shared taxis (louages) for intercity travel rather than private hire to dramatically cut transport costs, and eat at local restaurants and markets where a filling meal can cost well under $5.
