5+ years group traveling
Embark on a breathtaking 7-day expedition across Algeria, a land where the Mediterranean meets the Sahara and ancient civilizations still whisper through the dunes. From the whitewashed Kasbahs and French-colonial boulevards of Algiers, to the timeless Berber architecture of Ghardaïa’s M’Zab Valley, and the otherworldly landscapes of Tassili n’Ajjer National Park, this journey weaves together the country’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites in one seamless adventure. Sleep beneath desert stars, trace prehistoric rock art in crimson canyons, and experience the raw beauty and warm hospitality of one of North Africa’s most authentic destinations — a voyage that feels both deeply ancient and daringly new.
