More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A salt wind from the Bay of Algiers lifts the day's first light over whitewashed facades as you step into a city that feels both Mediterranean and profoundly North African. The tour threads you from Algiers' modern corniche to the pockmarked Roman stones at Tipaza and then southward, where Bou Saada's ochre roofs meet scrubby desert flats.
