The Peoples Democratic Republic of Algeria is situated in the north west of Africa. Its northern border is the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered to the northeast by Tunisia, to the East by Libia, to the west by Morocco , to the south west by Western Sahara, Mauritania and Mali and to the south east by Niger. Its capital is Algiers. After Sudan it is the largest country in Africa.
Algerian mail used stamps of France from 1849. From 1924, French stamps were overprinted “Algerie”, and eventually in 1926 the first stamps inscribed Algeria were issued.
After independence in 1962, Algeria started its own stamp programme.
