Algeria has 4 climates: Mediterranean, mountain, Sahara. Here's when to go where.
Mediterranean coast (Algiers, Tipaza, Béjaïa)
- May-October: ideal (22-30°C, sunshine)
- December-February: mild but rainy (10-17°C)
- July-August: hot (35°C+), but perfect for the beach
Atlas / High Plateaus (Constantine, Sétif)
- April-June: perfect
- September-October: ideal
- December-March: cold, snow possible
Sahara (Tassili, Hoggar, Adrar)
- October-March ONLY
- April-September: too hot (45°C+ by day)
- Saharan winter nights: 0 to -5°C, pack warm clothes
Our recommendation
- Touring the whole country: April-May or September-October
- Ramadan 2026: March-April (slower pace during the day)
