A sprawling view of the 'White City' and the fertile green plains that separate the coast from the mountains.
Blida Atlas
Rugged ridges and deep gorges of the Tell Atlas range seen within the first 15 minutes.

The UNESCO-listed pentapolis of Ghardaïa, featuring distinct white and blue cuboid architecture in a dry riverbed.
Tassili n'Ajjer
World-famous 'Forest of Stone' formations and deep canyons carved into the sandstone landscape.
