Irene, Here follows some travel advice on Algeria I found on Embassy website. Please be careful.
'You are strongly advised to travel with a reputable tour operator or an approved local guide if you plan to cross the border into Algeria. We advise caution if you intend to travel to the south eastern Algerian provinces of Tamanrasset, Djanet and Illizi. See Travel Advice: Algeria for more details.'
# We advise against all but essential travel to the administrative districts (wilayas) of Boumerdès, Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia, which are east of Algiers and Blida, Medéa and Ain Defla, which are south west of Algiers. You should make journeys within Algeria by air where possible.
# The high threat from terrorism in Algeria remains. In 2007 there were a number of bomb attacks in Algeria. There were two explosions in central Algiers on 11 December 2007, causing over 30 fatalities. Foreigners have been targeted by terrorists. You should exercise extreme caution at all times as terrorist attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers such as restaurants, hotels and shopping centres. See the Terrorism seciton of this advice for more details.
# If you intend to travel to Algeria in the immediate future you should review thoroughly information on the local situation, take full precautions for your personal security arrangements throughout your visit, and follow local advice.
# We recommend that you vary unavoidable travel, hcanging the timings and routes of regular journeys where possible. You should continue to check this advice regularly for updates and see the Terrorism section of this advice for more details.
If you decide to travel over land outside the major cities you should avoid doing so at night. Sustained small-scale attacks, including bombings, illegal roadblocks, kidnapping and murder, occur in many rural parts of the country. See the Crime and Local Travel sections of this advice for more details'.
Hope this helps
