Algeria

Forget the clichés - Algeria is not just a stop between Morocco and Tunisia. It’s a vast, complex land of Saharan silence, Roman ruins, French-Algerian echoes, and prehistoric art older than civilization itself.
​
Whether you’re drawn to the rock art of Tassili n’Ajjer, the Mediterranean charm of Algiers, or the haunting remains of colonial forts and desert ksars, we design Algeria trips that go deeper than any brochure promises.
​
This isn’t just about seeing the sites, it’s about understanding the pulse of a country shaped by resistance, resilience, and revolution. Our custom itineraries are built around you: your pace, your interests, your curiosity.
​
Confused by visa rules or where to even start in a country this big? Let us handle the logistics and local connections, so you can focus on immersing in one of North Africa’s most underrated treasures. Algeria on your terms, raw, surprising, and unforgettable.
