Air Algerie has opened new direct connections from France to southern Algeria, as the North African country looks to increase its visitor numbers. Algiers decided recently to relax the conditions of entry into the country, by giving foreign travellers visas on arrival.

The new connections and easing of restrictions are part of Algeria’s plan to promote the Sahara’s tourism season, which extends from October to March.
