SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Algiers to Cairo. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Algiers and Cairo lies at approximately 34.2068°N, 17.7030°E — the position that is an equal 1,355 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Cairo (Africa/Cairo) is 1 or 2 hours ahead of Algiers (Africa/Algiers), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
