Abstract

Algeria, one of the Arab world's last holdouts to global vacationers, is slowly opening up to tourism with a new visa program. Unlike neighboring countries like Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, Algeria has not prioritized tourism despite its natural and cultural attractions. However, a new initiative rolled out in January 2023 has made it easier for adventurous travelers to visit the Sahara desert. While the process is still challenging, the program has gained traction, with 10,000 visas issued to visit the Sahara in the year to February 2024. The government aims to attract 10 million tourists by 2030. [Extracted from the article]
