Tour Overview
Step into the labyrinthine heart of North Africa on this immersive city break that balances Ottoman heritage with Mediterranean cool. Your journey begins in the UNESCO-listed Casbah, where a local historian-guide leads you through whitewashed alleyways, hidden riads and centuries-old mosques that most visitors never find.
You’ll watch artisans restore traditional zellij tilework, sip mint tea on a rooftop overlooking the Bay of Algiers at golden hour, and trace French colonial architecture along the seafront promenade. Evenings are spent in restored Andalusian palaces turned boutique hotels, dining on fresh seafood and couscous as the call to prayer echoes across the bay.
