• La Grande Poste d’Alger - Begin your journey by meeting your guide at the iconic post office, a magnificent neo-Moorish structure from the French colonial period, completed in 1910. This landmark is renowned for its white façade, arches, and grand domes. Although it no longer functions as a post office, it remains a symbol of Algiers’ colonial architecture and cultural heritage.
• Emir Abdelkader Place - Visit Emir Abdelkader Square, a significant site in downtown Algiers. Here stands the impressive statue of Emir Abdelkader, a national hero who led the resistance against French colonization in the 19th century.

Gaze upon the statue on horseback – it serves as a powerful reminder of Algeria’s struggle for dignity and independence. The square is surrounded by French-style architecture, grand administrative buildings, and wide boulevards that echo Algiers’ colonial history.

• Downtown Algiers - As you explore Downtown Algiers, experience the city’s unique rhythm, where history and modernity coexist.

Stroll along the wide French-designed boulevards, lined with elegant white buildings, iron balconies, and vintage Art Deco cinemas. This area, developed during the colonial era, is often referred to as “Algiers the White” due to its bright architecture and Mediterranean allure.

Observe locals shopping, socializing at cafés, and street vendors offering everything from books to sweets — it’s vibrant, genuine, and full of character. Along the way, your guide will highlight hidden corners, historic hotels, cultural sites, and significant buildings often overlooked by tourists.

• Martyrs’ Square - Next, visit Martyrs’ Square, a vital and lively location in Algiers.

This expansive open square bridges modern Algiers and the ancient Casbah, showcasing a striking contrast between past and present. It is named in honor of the Algerian heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation’s independence.

• Ketchaoua Mosque - Stop at the stunning Ketchaoua Mosque, one of Algiers’ most iconic and historically significant structures.

Located at the base of the Casbah, this mosque narrates a tale of faith, culture, and colonial history. Originally constructed in the 17th century during the Ottoman era, it was later converted into a cathedral by the French, and subsequently restored as a mosque post-independence.

Admire the beautiful façade — a fusion of Moorish and Byzantine architecture. Notice the twin staircases, grand archways, and the unique blend of styles that reflect centuries of transformation.

• Dar Mustapha Pacha (National Public Museum of Illumination, Miniatures and Calligraphy) - Just steps from Ketchaoua Mosque, discover one of Algiers’ hidden gems: the Palais Mustapha Pacha.

This exquisite 18th-century palace was once the residence of Mustapha Pacha, an Ottoman governor of Algiers. From the outside, it appears modest, but inside, you’ll be captivated by the intricate tile work, cedar wood carvings, delicate arches, and serene interior courtyards — a true testament to Ottoman elegance and sophistication.

• Kasbah of Algiers - Note: As the tour lasts about 3 hours, time in La Casbah will be brief but meaningful.
