Flight to Algiers
We will start our adventure with check-in and boarding for our flight to Algiers. Once considered one of the most romantic Arab cities, it is now often referred to as the “White Algiers” due to its high-rise buildings gleaming in white.
The Mausoleum of Mauretania.
After breakfast, we will depart for Tipasa, located approximately 70 km from Algiers. Along the way, we will see the famous Mausoleum of Mauretanian Kings, also known as the Tomb of Numidian Kings or the Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania, built from stones.
We will also visit the Archaeological Museum. Upon arrival in Tipasa, we will explore the ruins of the ancient city, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
Satif
After breakfast, we will head to Setif. There, we will visit the ruins of the Zirid dynasty fortress and the UNESCO-listed archaeological site of Kala de Beni Hammed.

Dżamila
After breakfast, we will head towards Constantine. Along the way, we will stop at Djemila. We will visit one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in northeastern Algeria, with UNESCO-listed ruins of a Roman city dating back to the 1st century AD.

In the evening, we will transfer to the hotel, have dinner, and spend the night in Constantine.

After breakfast, we will visit the famous Amir Abd-el-Kader Mosque, which combines various styles of Islamic architecture – beautiful Persian minarets, the main structure in North African style, and decorations reminiscent of Andalusia and local Algerian tradition.
Next, we will head to Batna, and along the way, we will visit the famous archaeological site with the ancient colonial Roman city of Timgad.
Upon arrival in Batna, we will check into our accommodation, have dinner, and spend the night.

"THE CRYING COW": DŻANAT
After enjoying breakfast, we’ll make our way back to Djanet. En route, we’ll pause to admire the Ahawad plateau, characterized by its shimmering, metallic gray granite formations that resemble enormous silver balls.
