• In the morning, we’ll leave Algiers and make our way towards Constantine. On the way, we’ll stop at the ancient Roman ruins of Djemila, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
• As we drive, we’ll see the scenery become green and mountainous. It’s a truly beautiful area.
• At the entrance of Djemila is a museum housing impressive and massive mosaics and relics from the site. The site is situated on a hill, which is a unique setting for Roman architecture and provides stunning scenery. The well-preserved ruins include a theatre,  temples, an arch, a forum, a colonnaded street, and more.
• We’ll continue on our way to Constantine, also known as the city of bridges, and after checking into our hotel, we can head out to start exploring the city.
• Overnight in Constantine.

• We'll spend the day exploring the amazing beauty of this city by visiting many different viewpoints, both above and below the bridges of the city. The city is built on a massive rock and has eight main bridges that span a massive chasm that cuts through the city. We’ll visit the six main bridges that are accessible today. We’ll even see the layering of a Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and French bridges stacked on top of each other. We’ll explore one of the tunnel systems under the Sidi M Cid bridge and walk on the base of the gorge, as well as the Mon.
• We’ll walk through the busy market streets of the old town, and even do a little urbex in the now mostly abandoned section of the city.
• Another highlight will be Emir Abdelkader Mosque, with its stained glass windows, beautiful detailing, and reflective courtyard.
• We’ll also visit the colourful Ottoman palace of Ahmed Bey. With courtyards of orange trees, hand-painted patterned tiles, and housing for an entire harem, this palace is a beautiful stop.
• After dinner, we’ll head to the airport for our flight south to Djanet.
• Overnight in Djanet.

• Today we will head out to see the amazing scenery of this region.
• Tassili n’Ajjer National Park is home to over 15,000 prehistoric paintings and carvings, and we’ll see several impressive ones. We’ll see paintings of animals that haven’t been present in the region for at least 6000 years, as well as scenes depicting celebrations of the time.
• The desert and its incredible rock formations seem to change every 10 kilometers, with different jagged mountain patterns emerging. We’ll see rocks balancing in ways that don’t seem natural, and a massive eroded rock archway.
• If you’re up for a bit of a walk, we’ll take an optional stroll to an oasis used by nomads and their animals for thousands of years.
• Lunch will be in a stunning desertscape and cooked by our Tuareg chef who will travel with us.
• In the evening, we’ll set up camp in tents (mattress pad, blanket, and pillow provided). Get ready to see the most stars you’ve ever seen in your life in the middle of the Sahara! We’ll have dinner by the fire, and hang out until bedtime. You’ll be struck by how quiet the desert is, hundreds of miles away from the nearest buzzing machinery and city sounds.
• Overnight camping in Djanet.

• Continuing our adventure after breakfast, we’ll head towards the Essendilene canyon, making stops along the way, and maybe get the chance to visit a local nomadic camp. We’ll be able to walk through the canyon to a stunning oasis, as the dramatic cliffs tower above us.
• In the afternoon, we will head towards the Essendilene dunes to see the amazing rolling sea of organge sand.
• After lunch, we will head towards Tegharghart to see the famous Crying Cow, Algeria’s most famous rock carving, believed to be around 7000 years old! Yes, that's the right number of 0s. You can read more about this fascinating piece of art here .
• After experiencing more amazing scenery in the desert we will head back to the accommodation in Djanet and get ready for a desert party with a local Tuareg band. The music in this region right now is incredible and has a really cool mix of American blues and traditional Saharan sounds.
• Overnight in Djanet.

• This morning we will head to the airport for our midday flight back to Algiers.
• Once we arrive back in Algiers we will head straight to Tipasa to visit the ancient Roman ruins by the sea.
• Here we will also have an opportunity to eat at one of the best seafood restaurants in all of Algeria (in our opinion anyway!).
• On our way back to Algiers we will also stop by the Mausoleum of Cleopatra II who is allegedly the daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Antony.
• Arriving back in Algiers, tonight we will have a free evening, giving you the opportunity to explore some of the nightlife on offer in Algiers if that's something you're interested in doing.
• Overnight in Algiers.

• End of tour.
• We will assist in arranging a transfer to the airport for onward travel. If you would like to see more of the country let us know and we can arrange a private extension for you.
