Algerian Craft Industry Revival
In 2006, it was estimated that approximately 200 000 Algerians were employed by the crafts industry in Algeria. The traditional crafts such as carpets, pottery, metal craft and leather work are an important income to the country. The Algerian Government has realized the significance of the industry and has lent its full support of reviving the craft industries for the export and for tourism.
l Qal'a of Beni Hammad
There are many archaeological treasures in Algeria that are well worth seeing. Most people will immediately think of the roman ruins found at Djemila but not all ruins in Algeria are roman. If you travel roughly 21 miles southeast of Msila, you will find the I Qal’a of Beni Hammad. These ruins are what is left of the mightiest and most important city of the Hammadite Empire which enjoyed its peak in the 11th century AD. The ruins are situated at roughly 1000 meters above sea level and are encircled by the beautiful Hodna Mountains which provide a fitting backdrop for this archaeological treasure.
Algeria’s New Taghit National Park
Many visitors and tourists to the small Algerian village of Taghit see this area as an undiscovered jewel of beauty. The village itself is not accessible due to it being a military post, but the small oasis surrounded by tall palms against the backdrop of giant sand dunes, captures the imagination of all that visit this area. While some find the sunrise on the dunes breathtaking and others are not able to resist sliding down the slopes, the dunes and slowly advancing Sahara Desert, poses a threat to this area on a large scale.
Algeria’s International Exhibition
