Discover Algeria in one exclusive journey that blends culture, history, and adventure. Begin in Algiers, exploring the UNESCO-listed Casbah, Ottoman palaces, lively markets, and panoramic landmarks overlooking the Mediterranean. Professional local guides bring the city’s heritage to life, from its museums to its hidden corners. Then, fly south to the Sahara for an unforgettable desert experience in Djanet. Guided by an authentic Tuareg team, travel by private 4x4 across golden dunes, dramatic canyons, and prehistoric rock art sites that few travelers ever see.
