TOUR OVERVIEW
This tour packs the best of the north and the south into one complete Algeria tour. We'll start in the capital of Algiers, where we'll wander through the beautiful Ottoman and French inspired streets. The highlights will be the winding alleyways of the Kasbah, the massive minaret at the new Djamaa el Djazaïr Mosque (the tallest minaret in the world currently), the stunning French and English landscaping at the Botanical Gardens, and some very tasty Algerian dishes.
We'll then fly to one of the most picturesque cities you'll have ever been to - Constantine. We'll walk over and under the city's famous hanging bridges and take in some stunning cliffside views. From there, we'll drive to the massive UNESCO World Heritage site of Timgad which is an incredible complex of well-preserved Roman ruins. Our adventure will then continue south to Djanet and Tassili n'Ajjer National Park. We will visit breathtaking rock formations, some of the oldest and most impressive prehistoric rock art you'll ever see, and the incredible rolling red and orange sand sea of the Essendilene sand dunes.
Heading back north, we'll walk through the ancient Roman ruins of Tipaza and eat at one of our favourite seafood restaurants in the entire world. Tipaza is unique in that it is as much a local park as it is a UNESCO historical site. Where else can you see people picnicking and casually leaning against 2000 year old columns? Our tour will end back in Algiers for one last amazing meal before we say our goodbyes.
