Additional Information

Ghardaia is a province located in the central Algerian desert, encompassing five villages known collectively as the “M’zab Valley”: Ghardaia, Melika, Beni Isguen, Bou Noura, and El Atteuf. This area stands out for its distinctive and remarkable traditional architecture, urban planning, and environmental design, earning it a place on the World Heritage list. Emerging unexpectedly in the Sahara Desert, these villages showcase architectural and living solutions that are highly functional and convenient, developed in response to harsh environmental conditions.

Great personalized tour! - We had a great trip with fancy yellow! They were very helpful with the visa process and the tour itself was really well organized. We were able to ask for a combination of different destinations and this was no problem! Even though we were traveling during Ramadan everything was well arranged!
