Start your day at 9:30 AM beside the Serkadji Mosque, in the heart of Algiers’ most historic quarters. Step straight into the city’s living heritage as you explore the upper Casbah, where the sea breeze drifts through whitewashed alleyways and every corner reveals a new layer of history.

Begin at the Citadel, perched above the Casbah, and take in sweeping panoramas over the rooftops and the Mediterranean. Inside these timeworn walls, discover an atmosphere shaped by centuries of Ottoman Algiers—mosques, palaces, and gardens that hint at the city’s former splendor.

Then, wander through the Casbah’s narrow, winding lanes and meet local artisans keeping traditional crafts alive—woodcarving, copperwork, and painting—offering an authentic glimpse into daily life and the neighborhood’s enduring soul. Enjoy a memorable pause on the rooftop of a traditional Casbah house, where the view opens dramatically: the port below, the modern city shimmering beyond, and the Mediterranean stretching to the horizon.

As you descend toward the city center, watch the scene transform into wide, French-style boulevards lined with elegant façades, cafés, and quiet gardens. This striking contrast is what makes Algiers unforgettable—an ever-changing meeting point between past and present.

Continue to the city’s most powerful symbol, the Martyrs Monument, a moving tribute to Algeria’s fight for independence. Visit the Great Mosque of Algiers, an architectural landmark of modern grandeur, and finish at the Basilica of Notre Dame d’Afrique, dramatically set above the sea and renowned for its spirit of coexistence. At the end of the tour, relax as you’re dropped off back at your hotel.
