Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Flights

Destination: ALG

Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Algiers; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

Visa

Most foreign nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Algeria, which mandates pre-travel authorisation for almost all visitors. Business visitors generally need a business visa supported by an invitation letter from an Algerian company or government agency, and US applicants may qualify for multiple-entry two-year visas under a reciprocity agreement.

Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

Processing: Allow several weeks. Paper applications through Algerian consulates remain the primary route, with an eVisa platform still rolling out.

Apply at an Algerian diplomatic or consular post before travel. Expect to provide a passport valid for at least six months, typed application forms, photos, travel insurance, proof of funds and, for business travel, a letter of invitation stating the date of entry and planned stay.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Wednesday 17 March 2027 (day two of four)

Opening day is dominated by the official inauguration, ministry delegations and press, while day two brings peak trade-buyer footfall, the full culinary and barista competition schedule and conference sessions, and exhibitors still fully staffed for detailed price and distribution negotiations. The final day is quieter and some stands begin packing down, so treat it as a follow-up and appointment day rather than a first-look day.

Confirm Algerian visa requirements for your nationality and start the application — Business visas usually require an invitation letter from an Algerian host; allow several weeks.

Check passport validity and gather visa documents — Passport should be valid for at least six months beyond entry; prepare typed forms, photos, insurance and proof of funds.

Request an invitation letter from Easyfairs Algeria or your Algerian partner — Business visas for Algeria commonly require a letter of invitation stating entry date and planned stay.

Book flights to Algiers international airport — Houari Boumediene Airport is about 10 km from SAFEX; allow extra time for the March travel window.

Reserve a hotel in central Algiers or near Bab Ezzouar — Stay within reach of the metro and tram lines for the 16-19 March 2027 show days.

Register online for HORECA Algeria and request your visitor badge — Use the official organiser site at horecaexpodz.com to confirm registration and badge collection.

Download the SAFEX hall plan and the HORECA programme — Shortlist exhibitors across the Pavillon Palestine halls and mark must-see stands.

Pre-schedule B2B meetings with target suppliers — Lock in meeting slots before the show opens to secure time with key equipment and food brands.

Plan local transport to SAFEX — Metro to Les Fusilles then tram to the Palais des Expositions, or book Yassir or Heetch taxis.

Pack for mild, showery March weather — Light layers, waterproof jacket, comfortable shoes for the SAFEX esplanade and modest clothing for cultural sites.

Organise business cards, product wish-lists and meeting notes — Bring printed and digital materials for on-stand discussions and follow-up.

On arrival, collect your badge early and allow for security screening — Arrive ahead of the morning rush on the first show day to orient yourself at SAFEX.
