🇩🇿 Algeria in 6 Days | Capitals of History

Description

Begin in Algiers, where white-washed buildings meet the sea breeze. Stroll through the winding alleys of the Casbah, see the Martyrs’ Memorial, and soak up art and history in top museums. Then journey east into the hills to Djemila and Timgad, stepping back two thousand years among Roman streets, temples, arches and theaters. In Constantine, cross high suspension bridges and visit grand palaces that perch above deep gorges.

Next, fly south into the Sahara to Ghardaïa’s M’Zab Valley. Explore five hilltop villages built of warm clay, each crowned with its own minaret. Wander leafy palm groves, browse bustling markets, and learn how generations have thrived in this ancient desert world. Return home with memories of grand cities, timeless ruins, and the quiet magic of the Sahara.
