Algiers Tour Overview

Your journey begins at 9 am with a pickup from your hotel in Algiers, followed by a drive to the historic heart of the city.

The tour kicks off with a guided exploration of the Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its rich historical, artistic, and cultural significance. As we navigate through its winding alleys, adorned in the traditional Arab style, we’ll delve into the neighborhood's narrative, intricately connected to the Mediterranean trade routes.

Next, we will visit the Ketchaoua Mosque, which has stood since the 15th century. We will pause to marvel at the intricate tiles that embellish its façade, showcasing a stunning palette of blue, green, and violet hues.

Our journey continues to the noteworthy Basilica of Our Lady of Africa. As we observe the details of its exterior, we will discuss its historical ties to the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille, located across the Mediterranean.

From the steps of the Basilica, you can take in breathtaking views of the Bay of Algiers. After enjoying the vista, we will head back to the city center, where you'll have an hour of free time to relax. Following lunch, we will venture to the Hamma Botanical Garden, a stunning public park filled with the soothing scents of its diverse flora. Our tour will conclude at the Martyrs' Monument, offering an excellent spot for panoramic photographs, remembering its inauguration on the 20th anniversary of Algeria's Independence from France.
