The ferry port of Ghazaouet lies on the Mediterranean coast in north-western Algeria. From here you reach Almería in Andalusia, the Spanish counterpart port on this route. Sailings are not daily: on average a ship departs on fewer than one day a week, and on a sailing day up to 2 times. The crossing takes around 11 hours, which makes it an overnight passage. The port is served by Naviera Armas.
For your planning that means two things. First, this is not a service you take on the spur of the moment but a booking with a fixed date. Second, a missed departure weighs heavily, because the next opportunity is not the following day. Build some slack into your travel plan.
Check-in
Lead times at Algerian ports are considerably longer than at European ones. The state operator Algérie Ferries requires passengers leaving Algeria without a vehicle to be at the port at least 3 hours before departure, and passengers with a vehicle at least 5 hours before. That is the strictest figure publicly documented for this stretch of coast, and a realistic benchmark even if you have booked with a different operator. The deadline on your ticket is what counts.
