Best of Algiers Tour
Best of Algiers Tour
At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Algiers and drive to the old town of the Algerian capital.
We'll start our tour with a guided visit around the Kasbah, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its great historical, artistic and cultural value. During the tour through this citadel, we'll walk through its narrow streets decorated in the traditional Arab style. As we walk through this area, we'll also talk to you about the history of the neighbourhood, whose past is closely linked to Mediterranean trade.
The tour of the Kasbah will continue next to the Ketchaoua Mosque, whose origins date back to the 15th century no less. We'll stop in front of its façade to admire the tiles that decorate the upper part of the façade, in which the blue, green and violet tones are particularly striking.
Then we'll drive to the minor Basilica of Our Lady of Africa. While we look at the main details of its exterior architecture, we'll tell you how this Catholic church is related to the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, which is located on the other side of the Mediterranean, in Marseille.
From the steps of the Basilica of Our Lady of Africa, you'll also enjoy an extraordinary panoramic view of the Bay of Algiers. After enjoying the views, we'll return to the city centre, where you'll have an hour at leisure to recharge your batteries. After lunch, we'll head to the Hamma Botanical Garden, a beautiful public park where we'll enjoy the pleasant fragrance of its flowers. The last stop of the tour will be at the Martyrs' Monument, where you can take panoramic photos from this place that was inaugurated on the 20th anniversary of Algeria's Independence from France.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Algiers, arriving at 5 pm.
