Overview

Algeria's east is green, hilly and rich in history. You begin in Constantine, clinging to its rock above the Rhumel gorge, with its suspension bridges, mosques and old town, and the red Roman site of Tiddis nearby. Then you follow the road to Annaba on the coast.

In Annaba you explore the old town and citadel, the ruins of Hippo Regius, where Saint Augustine was bishop, and the basilica that bears his name. A last day in the cool cork-oak forests of the Edough above the village of Séraïdi completes a trip that suits most travellers.
