Tour Details

Africa’s largest country lies just a short hop from Europe. The north, with its snow-flecked mountains and stunning coastline, is home to urbane and charismatic cities such as Algiers and Constantine, as well as some of the most magnificent Roman sites in existence including Timgad and Djemila, both vast, perfectly preserved Roman towns with barely another tourist in sight.

Algeria’s other big draw is its extraordinary Saharan region. Whether it’s a glimpse of the sand seas that surround Timimoun, or the burnt-red mountains of the far south, these are the desert landscapes of legend.

But, for all its peach-coloured dunes and grand ruins, it’s perhaps the Algerians themselves, who welcome visitors with warmth and curiosity, that are the real highlight of this nation. For accessible adventure and a complex, enthralling cultural odyssey, head for Algeria.

We have an unforgettable, awe-inspiring New Year planned for you…. Deep in the Sahara lies the Algerian oasis of Djanet, where visitors might feel that they have actually been transported to another planet.
Parts of the landscape are more Martian or lunar, with only the blue of the sky giving the game away.

We will welcome the new year 2024 in the heart of Tassili N’Ajjer, precisely at the wonderful Tadrart Rouge

Everyone who has travelled to the Red Tadrart agrees that it is the most beautiful desert in the world, the landscapes are so majestic. It is true that this region of the Sahara presents an extraordinary diversity of panoramas: dunes of varied colours, rocky peaks, natural arches…

Today it is one of the driest regions in the world. It was particularly frequented during all periods of the Neolithic period. Its numerous wadis were appreciated by the shepherds who left traces of their passage. If we find very beautiful paintings in Tadrart, this region is especially famous for the engravings, certainly the most beautiful from the pastoral period. Throughout our journey, we will have the opportunity to admire these numerous testimonies of the past, more than 6,000 years old.

NOTE: If you are able to secure flights to Djanet on event dates, you can be added to the group
