BASICS:
Getting around
Travelling is easily done while you stay in the Mediterranean belt. Communications are excellent, and you can choose between train, bus, shared taxis, and even aircrafts. It is not expensive, and runs smoothly. The moment you set out into the desert, distances, and few travellers will destroy the image created up north. While many roads are good, others are only recommended for 4WDs and lorries. While you get from Algiers to many minor city effectively with planes, you can't go on travelling the same way, as all connections are either from, or to, Algiers. But all in all, moving around is easily done, considering the mere size of Algeria.
