Traveling in Algeria from Europe [duplicate]

I'm a EU-Moroccan national, and I'd have to travel in Algeria in the future, but as far as Algeria is concerned, it requires a visa for almost every country in the world except its bordering countries' nationals (Morocco and Tunisia) and a few other countries. Can I simply use Moroccan passport for entry and exit in Algeria instead of applying for a visa? Many Arabs told me that I might be blocked because at their say "Arab governments don't accept this switching of passport or tricks" or "they might ask a visa for EU" which is weird because they're supposed to record and see the flux of people pertaining their country. Thought?

Entering a country visa-free, where this is permitted by the destination country’s immigration rules, is not ‘switching of passport or tricks’. The EU is not a country, there is no such thing as an ‘EU passport’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passports_of_the_European_Union

You can confirm the entry requirements by checking with the Algerian Embassy or Consulate local to you, rather than paying attention to hearsay. For example, the Visa Exemptions section on the website of the Algerian Embassy in the UK states:

“Nationals from the following countries do not require an entry visa to travel to Algeria:

Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Seychelles, Tunisia and Yemen”.

http://www.algerianembassy.org.uk/index.php/diplomatic-visas.html

A Google search throws up https://www.passportindex.org/comparebyPassport.php, which states “visa-free/90 days” for Morrocan nationals wishing to enter Algeria.

Timatic, the system used by airlines, says:

“The following are exempt from holding a visa:

Nationals of Morocco for a maximum stay of 3 months. Passports and other documents accepted for entry must be valid for a minimum of 6 months from the arrival date.”
