Eight days in western Algeria: Oran and its Spanish fort, the coast to Béni Saf, the Zianid capital Tlemcen with Sidi Boumediene and Mansourah, and the mountain town of Nedroma.
The west of Algeria has a character of its own, shaped by Spanish garrisons, Andalusian refugees and the Zianid sultans of Tlemcen. You start in Oran, with Santa Cruz fort, the Bey's palace and the beaches of Les Andalouses, then follow the coast to Béni Saf.
Tlemcen is the highlight: the Méchouar citadel, the Great Mosque, the shrine of Sidi Boumediene, the ruined walls of Mansourah and the plateau of Lalla Setti. A day in Nedroma or the Beni Snous valley and a return via Mascara complete this relaxed, comfortable circuit.
Welcome at the airport, transfer to your hotel and a first walk in the city.
Santa Cruz fort, the Bey's palace, the coast road and the beaches of Les Andalouses and El Ançor.
Along the coast to the fishing port of Béni Saf and the town of Aïn Témouchent.
