Best of Algiers Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Algiers and drive to the old town of the Algerian capital.

We'll start our tour with a guided visit around the Kasbah, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical, artistic and cultural value. During the tour through this citadel, we'll walk through its narrow streets decorated in the traditional Arab style and discuss the history of the neighbourhood closely linked to Mediterranean trade.

Next, we'll visit the Ketchaoua Mosque, dating back to the 15th century. We'll admire the tiles that decorate its façade, notable for their blue, green and violet tones.

Then we'll drive to the minor Basilica of Our Lady of Africa. We'll look at the details of its exterior architecture and explain its relation to the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille. From the Basilica's steps, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the Bay of Algiers.

After the views, we'll return to the city centre for an hour at leisure. After lunch, we'll head to the Hamma Botanical Garden, a public park with fragrant flowers. The last stop will be at the Martyrs' Monument for panoramic photos, commemorating Algeria's Independence. Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Algiers, arriving at 5 pm.
