Located at an altitude of 1,600 meters in the Djurdjura Mountains in northern Algeria, the four-season resort of Tikjda offers local and international visitors the opportunity to enjoy snow sports in the winter and a variety of activities in the summer months.

Historical and Natural Splendor of Cherchell

Situated about fifty-five miles west of Algiers, the capital city of Algeria, the charming seaport town of Cherchell has a history dating back to 1500 BC. It is believed that many ruins and archeological treasures may be hidden beneath the town, making them inaccessible. Nevertheless, there are plenty of monuments and archeological ruins scattered throughout the town and surroundings that bear testimony to Cherchell’s long and fascinating history.

Exploring the Beauty of Algeria on a Bicycle

The International Bicycle Fund is a non-profit, independent organization that has as its goal the promotion of using bicycles as a means of transportation. As part of this initiative, Bicycle Africa specializes in bicycle tours as a means for Westerners to gain insight into Africa and its people on a one-on-one level. Their philosophy is based on cross-cultural, educational, environmentally friendly, sustainable eco-tourism. Tourists who are looking for adventure and a truly enriching cultural experience are offered the opportunity to travel by bicycle through the fascinating North African country of Algeria.

Historical Wonders of Djemila

Just east of Algiers lies a breathtaking mountainous region along the northern coast of Algeria. It is amongst the rolling green hills and diverse landscape that Djemila can be found. The scattered remains of the Roman Empire that once ruled this expanse is the only memory of their occupation, yet stands as a monument to their engineering skills in constructing a beautiful town on a landscape that few would choose for construction. All though Djemila was not a big town, and therefore not the largest ruins in North Africa, it is the best preserved and can be described as extraordinary.
