Fifteen days that use domestic flights to cover the whole country: Algiers, Timimoun, El Ménia, the M'zab, Timgad, Tiddis, Djemila, Oran, Tlemcen and Tipaza.
The best overview of Algeria in two weeks. Domestic flights save long drives and let you combine regions that are far apart: the Casbah of Algiers, the red oasis of Timimoun and its foggaras, El Ménia and the M'zab valley, then the Roman cities of the east, Timgad, Tiddis and Djemila.
After a flight west, you discover Oran and the Zianid heritage of Tlemcen, before ending at the Bardo in Algiers and the seaside ruins of Tipaza. Moderate walking on sites and in medinas; hotels in cities and guesthouses in the oases.
Arrival and dinner in the centre; the next day the Casbah, Bastion 23 and Notre-Dame d'Afrique.
Flight to Timimoun, sunset over the dunes, then the old ksar, the foggaras and the sebkha.
A long drive on the trans-Saharan road to El Ménia (El Goléa).
The fortified ksar and Charles de Foucauld's tomb, then the M'zab valley and Beni Isguen before a flight to Constantine.
Three days among the Roman cities of the east: Timgad, Tiddis and Djemila with its mosaics, ending in Sétif.
Flight to Oran and a city walk, then a day in Tlemcen: the Zianid quarter, the Great Mosque and Lalla Setti.
Flight back to Algiers and the Bardo museum, then the Roman ruins of Tipaza and the Royal Mausoleum.
Transfer to Algiers airport for your flight.
A valid passport (6 months) and an Algerian visa or visa-on-arrival authorisation are required. We send the invitation documents you need once your booking is confirmed. See our practical information (checked 19 October 2026).
