TOUR OVERVIEW
This tour is your introduction to Africa's largest country and one of the most exciting countries in Northern Africa. Algeria, which has previously been difficult to travel to is now open for exploring!
Our winter tour will take you through the French and Ottoman inspired streets of Algiers, across the epic bridges of Constantine, and through the historical Roman ruins of Tipaza and Timgad. Of course, no trip to Algeria would be complete without a visit to the Sahara, so we will venture right down south to Djanet to see some of the most stunning desert scenery in the entire Sahara.
This tour is also part of The Extreme North Africa Tour , if you're interested in seeing more of the region while you're there. If you'd like to do a bit more, but don't have time for the whole Extreme North Africa Tour, Algeria can be done either in conjunction with Libya as the Algeria and Libya Winter Combo Tour , or with Mauritania as the Mauritania and Algeria Winter Combo Tour .
If you like the look of this tour but the dates don't work for you, or you'd like to do part of the tour, please get in touch and let us know. All our tours are able to be split into smaller sections, we're always scheduling new tours and your dates might work for one of them, or we can always organise an independent tour.
