After our exciting trip to Tunisia early in 2022 (click here for that page ), we knew we wanted to explore neighboring Algeria as well. But the country is not quite as open and accessible, so we waited till the end of the year to return to the north of Africa.
We spent about a week in the capital Algiers, before we set off to see the rest of the country.
Our itinerary included:
Algiers
Casbah, museums
Tipasa and Cherchell
Mosque, Basilica, Botanic Garden etc.
Oran
Tlemcen
Timimoun
El Goléa
Ghardaia and the Pentapole of M’Zab
Constantine, “City of Bridges”
Tiddis
Annaba – Hippone, Basilica of Saint Augustine
Guelma, Hammam Meskoutine
Timgad – Lambèze
Berber Villages of Rhouffi canyon
Batna
Djémila
Sétif – Kalaa of Beni Hammad
