Algiers , the coast , and the deep Sahara are worth a visit. Just keep in mind security issues. The reciprocity fee issue is worldwide for US citizens. Most government officials will admit privately that it is an ignorant policy. They know that most Americans will not overstay or seek employment. They would welcome the extra revenue but politics do not allow common sense. They do mention that some activists do pose a problem but can be screened at the border. Just the comments on this thread show that it will stop some folks from going to Algeria.
I'm confused by this in reference to the reciprocity fee. Aren't such fees just a tit-for-tat imposed because of the USA's high visa fees for ALGERIAN citizens? Hence...reciprocity?
