Kasbah of Algiers

The upper old part of Algiers has interesting Moorish houses, minarets and old citadel.

Reviewed By KristiDNYC - New York City, United States

Many people say that you can't walk alone in the Kasbah, but that's not true. In the daytime, you can walk freely and explore on your own. Just keep your wits about you and turn back if you feel uncomfortable. It's such a shame that the government has let these beautiful buildings crumble. Several older people came up to us and said, "You should have visited a long time ago, it used to be so beautiful here,."

Tassili N'Ajjer National Park

A vast plateau on the edge of the Sahara is famous for the 8,000 years old cave paintings.

Reviewed By inappropriateyt

I was on the Plateau last October 2019, I went there on a trip organized by the travel agency Immesoukal Voyages. I had a Touareg team only for me : Hamid Housseyni, the guide, Khaled Hamdaoui, the cooker, Hadj Mohamed the donkey-driver and his son Achour. Highly recommend you guys to visit Plateau of Tassili by trekking.

Basilique Notre Dame d'Afrique

Basilica in Algiers overlooking the bay of the capital city. Completed in 1872, this splendid building of neo-bysantine architecture is ornately decorated in the inside in the Spanish-Moorish decor. Unique in its genre, it is probably one of the only churches in the world where the invocation to the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Africa reads "Notre Dame d'Afrique, priez pour nous et pour les musulmans - Our Lady of Africa, pray for us and for Muslims". It is dear to the Algerian people who see it as 'their' church. PLEASE NOTE - Appropriate dress required to enter the Basilica

Reviewed By RashidSultan - Madison, United States

Beautiful church. Drive here isn’t easy. Views from the church are spectacular. Worth the visit. It isn’t open all day. They do have a gift shop. They have regular service if you want to attend check with the church. Parking is free and plenty. You’re only allowed to take pictures when you enter the church from inside from that point you cannot take anymore pictures.

Monument Aux Morts

Reviewed By jcaulum - Minneapolis, United States

You will get stunning photos of Constantine City and the surrounding areas from this place. Another very interesting facet that I wouldn't have noticed had I not been visiting with a local was that many of the names of the martyrs are Jewish (!). Apparently after WWII and Israel's opening, many of the large Jewish population of Constantine left the country (don't actually know if it was by their choice or not). But anyway was totally interesting. Try to time it for sunset for best photos.
