Algiers

The white city above the bay — Ottoman casbah, Andalusian courtyards, French boulevards.

A city on a rock, split by a gorge and stitched together by bridges flung across the void.

Some of the best-preserved Roman cities on earth — theatres, temples and mosaics in the open air.

A thousand-year-old pentapolis of cubist desert towns, still lived in exactly as designed.

Plateaus of prehistoric art, sandstone forests and oases kept alive for a thousand years.

The Andalusian capital of the west — medieval minarets, mosques and the music of al-Andalus.

Where the Djurdjura mountains fall into the sea — Amazigh heartland of cliffs, capes and coves.

The “City of Happiness” — the first oasis of the south, of palm groves, dunes and dust-light.
