Services & Facilities
Arrival at the airport
Participants arrive at Algiers ‘Houari Boumediene’ International Airport which is about 19 kilometres from Algiers city centre. It takes approximately 40 to 55 minutes (35km) by car from the airport.
The Algerian Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is providing transport to receive the official delegates at the airport. Delegates will be taken to their respective hotels. The Ministers and Heads of Delegation will be given personal cars.
There are also organised and registered airport taxis available to drive you from the airport to the city centre or your hotel. Taxi fares to the city centre vary from between 3,000 and 5,000 dinars (about 20 to 40 US dollars), depending on your destination. However, we recommend that you use transport organised by the Ministry on arrival to ensure a comfortable
welcome.
Healthcare requirements
Visitors from countries susceptible to yellow fever are required to be vaccinated 10 days before arrival, as well as visitors
who have been in transit through these countries for more than 12 hours.
