🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Algiers Place 1er Mai → Boufarik Place des Martyrs
💡 These are cheap and direct. Look for the white Peugeot 504s with a 'Boufarik' sign. Wait until the car has four passengers before it leaves. The ride can be cramped but fast. Ask to be let off near the motel—drivers know it.
Algiers Bus Station (Caroubier) → Boufarik Main Bus Stop
💡 These buses are frequent and cheap. Board at Caroubier—not the side-street minibuses—for a reliable seat. The bus drops you near the town centre; Motel El Rahma is a 10-minute walk or a 200 DZD taxi ride away.
Houari Boumediene Airport (ALG) → Motel El Rahma, Boufarik
💡 Negotiate the fare before you get in. Official airport taxis charge a fixed rate to Boufarik, but drivers may try to add a surcharge late at night. Have small bills ready.
Algiers Central Station (Agha) → Boufarik Railway Station
💡 This is the smoothest way from central Algiers. Trains run on time and have AC. From Boufarik station, walk 15 minutes east along Rue Didouche—the motel is just past the police station. Buy your ticket from the window, not the platform machine.
