Algiers Weather in November

November weather

November feels mild rather than wintry, with daytime highs around 20°C and cooler evenings near 12°C. Rain is a real part of the month: it falls on 12 days, so you may need to shift outdoor plans.

On dry spells, walk the Casbah's lanes or visit the Jardin d'Essai. The garden is especially pleasant without summer heat. A rainy afternoon suits the Bardo Museum or a long lunch of couscous in the city. Don't count on a full beach day; the sea and changeable skies make November a poor choice for a beach-focused trip.

What's on

Algeria's Revolution Day falls on November 1. It marks the start of the war of independence, and you may see official ceremonies or flags around the city. The Martyrs' Memorial, known as Maqam Echahid, is a fitting place to learn more about that history.

If you hate crowds, November is a calmer time to explore Algiers than the busy summer months. It's also outside the spring and autumn periods that draw more visitors. Prices are generally less pressured than in peak summer, though local demand can vary.

Getting around

The shorter days and showers can make a packed sightseeing schedule less appealing. Keep the Casbah for a dry stretch: its steep lanes and worn steps can be slippery after rain. For a more sheltered outing, take the Metro to Jardin d'Essai and spend time among its paths and greenhouses.

Travelling with kids? Pair the garden with the nearby Museum of Fine Arts, rather than tackling the Casbah on a wet day. November's weather can still be comfortable for walking, but leave room to swap plans when showers roll in.
