ATMs and currency exchange

The exchange offices at the airport are operated only by the National Bank of Algeria with official exchange rates. In Algiers you will often encounter an illegal money exchange market and, for example, official taxi drivers will often offer you a better rate.

Money can only be exchanged unilaterally, i.e. you cannot change Algerian dinars back into any currency.

Remember, however, that it is illegal to exchange anywhere other than official money changers in Algeria.

There are also several Algerian bank ATMs in the arrivals hall, where international cards work without problems.

Shops and supermarket

You won't find a regular grocery supermarket or at least a mini-market or newsagent at the airport. In the public area, you can buy water or a sandwich in small cafés, for example.

Most shops are located after security in the international departure area.

Here you will find shops selling local products and souvenirs, fashion or books.

Dining options

Algeria's airport is relatively poorly equipped with restaurants. There are only 4 restaurants in the domestic terminal (of which only 1 after security).

The international terminal has 5 restaurants in the transit area and 4 restaurants in the public area. Of the well-known international brands, only the Segafredo café is present.
