Where will Algeria take you?
From the Mediterranean to the Sahara, a selection of places we love to share, and that are quite unlike anywhere else.
A place to be
The largest country in Africa, and still a secret
From the Mediterranean to the heart of the Sahara, Algeria gathers landscapes that seem borrowed from several continents: the green mountains of Kabylie, the dizzying gorges of Constantine, the palm groves of the oases and the endless dunes of the Deep South.
A desert expedition, a cultural journey or a family holiday with your feet in the water: whatever you dream of, we know exactly how to make it happen.
Algiers
The Casbah of Algiers, a living heritage
UNESCO-listed since 1992, the Casbah rises above the bay of Algiers in a maze of white houses, stepped alleys, Ottoman palaces and mosques. With our guides, you push open the doors of Dar Mustapha Pacha and the Ketchaoua Mosque, and meet the craftsmen who keep the heart of the old city beating.
Constantine
Constantine, the city of suspended bridges
Perched on a rock carved by the Rhumel gorges, Constantine, the ancient Cirta, ranks among the oldest cities in North Africa. Its bridges, such as Sidi M'Cid, suspended some 175 metres above the void, link the districts of the old town. Visit the Palace of Ahmed Bey, the Emir Abdelkader Mosque and the war memorial that watches over the city.
Ghardaïa
Ghardaïa and the M'zab valley, a UNESCO-listed treasure
Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1982, the M'zab valley brings together five fortified ksour founded from the 11th century onwards. Around the minarets, ochre and white houses climb the hills in perfect harmony, an architecture that has inspired builders the world over. Discover Beni Isguen and its auction market, Melika and the palm groves.
Djanet
The Tassili n'Ajjer, a museum under the open sky
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982 and a national park, the Tassili n'Ajjer is a plateau of sandstone forests, arches and canyons around Djanet. It shelters more than 15,000 prehistoric paintings and engravings that tell the story of a green Sahara. With our Tuareg teams, you walk, sleep in bivouacs and discover sites such as Sefar and the Tadrart Rouge.
Oran
Oran and Santa Cruz, the radiant city of the west
From Mount Murdjadjo, the Santa Cruz fort and chapel offer one of the most beautiful views over the bay of Oran. Down below, the old Sidi El Houari district, the seafront, the Opera and the Palace of the Bey tell the story of a city of many influences, and the birthplace of raï music.
