www.sntf.dz is the official website to buy your train tickets in Algeria.
Train travel in Algeria is operated by the Société Nationale des Transports Ferroviaires (SNTF). The railway network covers both long-distance and regional routes, connecting major cities like Algiers, Oran, Constantine, and Annaba. It also offers commuter services in urban areas such as Algiers. The trains are modern and equipped with first- and second-class seating, air conditioning, and some include dining services.
Algeria’s rail network also features night trains on certain routes and limited international services, such as links to Tunisia. While primarily serving passenger transport, the network is also integral for freight movement across the country. Future plans aim to expand and modernize the network further
