More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the plane in Algiers and the Mediterranean wind hits like an invitation — salt, citrus markets and city stone all at once. By day two you are climbing narrow lanes in the Kasbah, eyes tracing Ottoman facades and the sudden drop toward the Bay; by midweek you are sleeping under a black Saharan sky beside orange dunes that shift like living walls.

Algeria’s UNESCO sites span Punic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and indigenous Saharan layers — from Tipasa’s coastal trading post to M’Zab’s 11th‑century hilltop settlements.
Conservation
