Morning light washes the white facades of Algiers as travelers step from the car and into a city that has always looked outward — to the sea, to empires, to the road that leads east. Over seven days the route tightens into a coherent arc: capital boulevards and the Casbah’s alleys, then eastward by air and road to Constantine’s cliffside bridges, and further into two of North Africa’s best-preserved Roman cities, Djemila and Timgad, before returning west to the littoral ruins of Tipasa.
