Sports and leisure activities Algeria

Algeria is a country rich in visits, but also in leisure activities to enjoy on the spot!

If you're going to Algeria in summer, you'll certainly want to go to the beach! With 1,600 km of coastline, there really is a lot to choose from, and the beaches are all as beautiful as each other, as the Thalassa program devoted to Algeria in 2015 so aptly demonstrated. And the good news is that summer is long in this country, and you can easily swim until the end of October. From the crystal-clear beaches of Oran and Tipasa to the pretty coves of Mostaganem and Jijel, swimming here is pure bliss.

For women who want to swim in their bikinis, however, it's advisable to turn to private hotel beaches or to go to coves accompanied by family or friends. This is a good way of avoiding prying eyes and inappropriate remarks from burkini fans. The easiest way to find out if your bikini won't pose a problem is to ask the locals, who will tell you where you can sunbathe without being bothered.

And last but not least: sand skiing! In the Sahara, of course. There are numerous agencies offering this activity in Béni Abbès and Taghit.
