in Algeria: when to go?
méditerranéen et aride climate
L'Algérie offre une mosaïque climatique fascinante entre sa côte méditerranéenne tempérée et ses vastes étendues sahariennes. Le nord du pays bénéficie d'un climat méditerranéen avec des hivers doux et humides, tandis que l'été peut être caniculaire. Le Sahara algérien présente des amplitudes thermiques extrêmes avec des journées brûlantes et des nuits fraîches. La période idéale pour découvrir l'Algérie s'étend d'octobre à mai, évitant ainsi les chaleurs écrasantes de l'été. Le printemps (mars-mai) est particulièrement recommandé pour explorer les sites historiques d'Alger, Oran ou Constantine, avec des températures agréables et peu de précipitations. L'automne offre également d'excellentes conditions pour les excursions dans le Sahara, quand les températures diurnes deviennent supportables.
