About Algeria :
Algeria is a Maghreb country located in the northern part of the African continent. The Algerian population is about 43 million inhabitants for an area of 2,381,741 km2. This country shows its greatness on many points. Indeed, it is the largest country in Africa, the Arab world, and the Mediterranean countries. Alger is the capital of Algeria, the most developed country in continental Africa. This country has a cultural and historical past that goes back thousands of years. 7 historic sites are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Algeria's climate varies greatly from region to region. Indeed, in the north, Algeria enjoys Mediterranean weather while in the south of the country reigns a hot and dry desert climate. This is because of the spread of the Sahara, which covers nearly 80% of the country's surface area. Algeria is a country whose culture varies enormously from one city to another, from one oasis to another. Each region has different cultural and linguistic characteristics. Algeria is a country that also surprises by its highly sought-after architecture. An architecture very steeped in Arab-Muslim culture, which also differs from region to region. The number of tourists is low (2.7 million in 2017), reflecting a certain need for external transport services. That's why we at Eelway have decided to help these passengers by offering a service that transports luggage, parcels, suitcase and bulky objects from door to door in Algeria. In other words, called door-to-door, this service will allow you to avoid worrying about your luggage or other bulky objects by shipping your luggage or your suitcase to Algeria so that they do not become stressful or tense.
