Minimum number of participants: available on request, customisableAlgeria: a luminosity that caresses Algiers, the “white city,”
There is a particular light that envelops Algeria: a luminosity that caresses Algiers, the “white city,” and reflects off the ancient stones of the Roman towns scattered across the hinterland. Here, where the African provinces once fed Rome with their endless fields of grain, prosperity was transformed into architecture—into solemn squares and temples that still seem to hold the breath of the past.
Along the coast and among the highlands of ancient Numidia and Mauretania, the ruins of Tiddis, Tipasa, Djemila, and Timgad rise like mirages—cities that time has touched without ever erasing their grandeur. Their mosaics, still vibrant with color, recount stories of gods and men; their paved streets guide the eye toward vast horizons where silence amplifies beauty.
These places, surprisingly little known, preserve an untouched charm: stone theatres immersed in landscapes that shift with the changing light, natural backdrops that make every visit feel like an intimate encounter with history.
Travelling through Algeria means letting yourself be guided by this harmony of light and memory—discovering Algiers as a luminous gateway to the Mediterranean, then venturing inland toward Roman cities that seem still to await their ancient inhabitants. It is a journey that blends wonder and contemplation, an invitation to walk among the traces of a past that continues to speak with a remarkably vivid voice - PRACTICAL INFORMATIONThe trip includes domestic flights and travel by minibus
