Algiers → Casbah of Algiers: key facts

Casbah of Algiers from Algiers Airport (ALG) by private transfer: €45 per car (1–3 people) or €65 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 22 km via RN 11, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: For international flights the driver waits in the public arrivals area on the lower level of the International Flights Terminal, after immigration and customs, holding a sign with your name; for domestic flights, in the public hall of the Domestic and Omra Flights Terminal. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

The Casbah is the old Ottoman town of Algiers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of steep lanes, stairways and white houses climbing from Place des Martyrs to the citadel at the top of the hill. From the airport the route follows the Rocade Nord (RN 11) around the bay to the port, continues along Avenue de l'ALN and the seafront boulevards past the Grande Poste and ends at the lower edge of the old town, by the Ketchaoua Mosque and Place des Martyrs. The trip is about 22 km.

Inside the Casbah the lanes are narrow and stepped, so cars stop at its edges: on Place des Martyrs and Boulevard Amara Rachid by the sea, or on the roads that reach the upper town near the citadel. The Ketchaoua Mosque, the Palais des Rais (Bastion 23) and Dar Aziza stand in the lower part, close to the drop-off points. The Bab El Oued district continues to the north-west, and the Grande Poste is about 1.5 km to the south along the waterfront.

Public transport instead: ETUSA bus airport lines to Audin, Place des Martyrs and Kharouba from Houari Boumediene Airport to Place Maurice Audin / Place des Martyrs (city centre), 7 days a week (SGSIA). No rail link to the Casbah itself: the airport train ends at Agha, about 2 km to the south; ETUSA airport buses serve Place des Martyrs at the foot of the Casbah.
