10 Days Highlights of Algeria

About the destination: Algiers is the capital and the largest city of Algeria. Algiers is a lively cosmopolitan city. In terms of population, it has grown rapidly of late. Indeed, the city is now home to over three million people, amounting to around a tenth of the population of Algeria as a whole. Modern Algiers is located in and around the waterfront area of the city. Most of the shops and restaurants can be found in this neighborhood, which is centered on the Rue Didouche Mourad. The seafront district of Baba-El Oued is home to Kettani Beach, a popular draw for both local families and visitors alike.

About the destination: Constantine is a city in Northeast Algeria. The city is framed by a deep ravine and has a dramatic appearance. The city is very picturesque with a number of bridges and a viaduct crossing the ravine. There are several bridges in Constantine, but the hanging one is the most spectacular. The view of the natural arch beneath is something that captivates you. Only for that bridge the visit to Constantine is justified. Other attractions in the city are the Ben-Badis Mosque, the Casbah, the Soumma Mausoleum, the Palace of Ahmed Bey and the ruins of the Antonian Roman aqueduct.

About the destination: Welcome to Béjaïa, the sparkling gem of Algeria's Kabylie region, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the green hills and mountains of North Africa. Known locally as Bgayet, this port city is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for travelers looking to explore off the beaten path. Begin your journey at the heart of Béjaïa, where the remnants of the city's storied past come to life. Wander through the Casbah, an old fortress that stands as a testament to the various civilizations that have left their mark here—from the Romans to the Ottomans. The Casbah offers panoramic views of the harbor and the Mediterranean, perfect for capturing memorable photos of your trip. Nearby, the 11th-century Sidi Soufi mosque, with its striking architecture, invites you to appreciate the city's spiritual heritage. For nature enthusiasts, Béjaïa is a gateway to the lush natural parks and idyllic beaches of the Kabylie region. Cap Carbon, with its iconic lighthouse, is one of the highest capes in the Mediterranean and promises breathtaking vistas. If it's the beach you're after, head to Tichy or Aokas for a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters, or simply relax on the sandy shores and enjoy the Mediterranean sun. No visit to Béjaïa would be complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Sample the fresh seafood, a staple of the region, or try traditional Berber dishes that offer a unique blend of flavors and spices. The local market is a feast for the senses, where you can find olives, figs, and other regional delicacies. As the day winds down, stroll along the promenade of the marina, savoring the cool sea breeze and the vibrant atmosphere of this enchanting Algerian city.
