the Middle East and Africa

Full of surprises, epic Algeria is an adventurous traveler’s dream. Africa’s largest country by area has a 1600km (994-mile) coastline fringed with long sandy beaches and dotted with history-rich cities, which include some of the best Roman ruins in the world. Inland, a fantastic desert hinterland promises authentic oasis towns, vast sand seas, and ancient volcanic mountains covered in rare prehistoric petroglyphs and paintings.
