The British Department of Foreign Affairs and Development has warned its citizens against traveling to certain border areas of Algeria due to the tense security situation. It recommends avoiding travel to areas located less than 30 kilometers from the Algerian borders with Libya, Mauritania, Mali, Niger and Tunisia, with the exception of the border area with Morocco.

The ministry explained, citing international travel advice, that these border areas pose significant security risks and urged citizens to stay away from them. This is part of the update of international travel advice related to Algeria.
The UK Foreign Office also stressed the need to avoid traveling to Illizi and Ouargla states, as well as the Chaambi Mountains region of Tunisia, due to deteriorating security conditions. He recommended limiting travel to the rest of the border areas with Tunisia to only necessary cases.

The ministry added that traveling to these areas may result in the cancellation of travel insurance in the event of an emergency accident, noting that safety in these areas cannot currently be guaranteed. She called on British citizens to follow the updated travel instructions and guidelines.
