Algeria \u2013 practical information for tourists<\/b><\/h3>

The capital Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Tipaza, Timgad, Djemilla and the Sahara desert regions are among the most interesting places to visit.<\/span><\/p>

For Bulgarian citizens, however, the trip requires more serious advance preparation compared to many other tourist destinations, as a pre-issued visa is required for a regular Bulgarian passport.<\/span><\/p>
