Multiplicity and diversity :

Whether you are a lover of cultural and historical heritage, of vast deserts, of idleness on a beach, of the great outdoors in the mountains or of cities with winding streets, Algeria, as big as France four times, is indeed one of the most beautiful countries in the Mediterranean and the Maghreb. Destinations that generously offer such diversity are rare! Imagine then that during the same day you can pass snow-covered slopes from Djurdjura to the beach, from Roman remains to the palm grove of an oasis, or from the Kasbah of Algiers to a garden of Ghardaa...With its 1,200 kilometres, the Algerian coast is a magnificent wild balcony overlooking the Mediterranean: coves and fine sandy beaches will delight lovers of idleness. Algiers, Constantine, Annaba, Bejaia or Oran, millenary cities, have naturally found a prominent place there. Ghardaa, gateway to the desert - and whose unique architecture has become emblematic of Algerian architecture as a whole - reveals the M'Zab valley and its seven fortified cities in the shape of pyramids surrounded by palm groves. Several centuries ago, sustainable development was invented there, a system of egalitarian water management so rare. To the south and west, Gourara, Touat and Saoura have been built above the palm groves of the ksour as the ultimate protection against the rezzou and sandy blast of the Great Western Erg. In Tamanrasset, capital of the Hoggar, it is the meeting with the mythical desert of the Tuareg. If the Hoggar massif, the Tassili n'Ajjer remain closed to the public, Tam remains accessible for tourists within a radius of about 50 km with the possibility of going to Assekrem, this plateau where the wind whistles, chosen as a retreat place by Father de Foucauld; the magnificent landscapes which culminate at 3 000 m are sublime.The Sahara takes on its full dramatic dimension when it takes our breath away at the top of the Assekrem.To walk through the Tassili of Hoggar (currently closed) a collapsed plateau where the hardest rocks, sculpted and caressed by the wind, have taken on fantastic shapes, is a journey through time and space. In the east, we meet the history of humanity. Above Djanet, the Tassili n'Ajjer and its surroundings (currently closed) constitute the largest open-air prehistoric museum in the world. Kabylia rises to high peaks, covered with snow for most of the year, in a succession of oak and cedar forests and villages clinging to the ridges. The Aures, for their part, between Batna and Biskra, hide in their folds the ribbon of palm trees. The villages nestled against the slopes dominate valleys that are sometimes very steep. Life is hard there but we know how to defend it.
