About this journey
Algiers reveals itself through contrasts. The Casbah opens the door to a dense history; Tipaza and Cherchell carry the journey on along the Mediterranean; the museums, gardens and downtown districts tell of a capital that can't be summed up in a single era. Over five days, this trip blends heritage, Algiers dining, a craft workshop and a chaâbi evening, all at an easy city pace.
