Turquoise Coast
Stunning vistas of secluded coves and rocky inlets between Cherchell and Ténès where the mountains meet the sea.

Tell Atlas Range
Dramatic views of the Atlas mountain ridges that run parallel to the coast, often capped with clouds or light snow in winter.
Chréa National Park
Dense cedar forests and mountainous terrain south of Blida, providing a lush green contrast to the coastal plains.
Cheliff River Valley
The largest river valley in Algeria, showcasing a patchwork of agricultural fields and rural settlements.
Dahra Mountains
A rugged mountain massif located between the Cheliff River and the Mediterranean coast.
Sebkha d'Oran
A massive endorheic salt lake located just south of Oran, appearing as a bright white or pinkish expanse during the descent.
