Biskra Travel Guide
Algeria
Biskra is a city of 307,987 people in north-eastern Algeria, on the edge of the Sahara. Its inland setting gives it a hot, dry climate, with particularly strong heat during summer.
Most visitors arrive by air through Biskra Airport (BSK), the city’s listed airport. Biskra is not a coastal destination, and there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so plan coastal time elsewhere in Algeria.
