VISA ACQUISITION

The Algerian government has launched the “Visa on Arrival” program.

This specific program applies when you book a visit to the Sahara region:

When you make a reservation, our agency will send you a letter of invitation (LOI) that will allow you to travel to Algeria.

Upon arrival, a visa is validated at the airport because foreign tourists can now apply for a visa upon arrival in Algeria to visit 24 provinces, including Djanet.

If you wish to extend your trip in the north of the country, either before or after your tour of the Sahara, Ihakettravels can organize your guided tours with its affiliated agencies in the north (Algiers, Constantine, Oran, Setif, etc.).

However, if you wish to travel independently in the north, Ihaket Travels can also obtain letters of intent for you by simply submitting your itineraries, regardless of whether you book a tour to the Sahara.
