Omschrijving
De eerste gids uit de serie van Bradt van Algerije laat zien wat dit prachtige land te bieden heeft aan bezoekers. Van de noordelijke kuststrook met baaien die doen denken aan Zuid-Italië naar de woestijnsteden van het zuiden. De ruïnes van Timgad behoren tot de best bewaard gebleven in de wereld, terwijl die bij Tipasa een mooi uitzicht bieden over de Middellandse Zee en zijn binnen handbereik van de hoofdstad Algiers. De woestijn heeft 8000 jaar oude grotschilderingen en vergeet niet een bezoek te brengen aan de prachtige Haggar Mountains.
The first guide to focus on the renascent Algeria. After a decade of isolated but brutal civil unrest, peace is holding and tourism is emerging. From the northern coastal strip with bays reminiscent of southern Italy to the desert towns of the south, Algeria has a great deal to offer visitors.
Algeria's World Heritage sites are free of thronging crowds. There is significant evidence of the country's Roman past; the ruins of Timgad are among the best-preserved in the world, while those at Tipasa overlook the Mediterranean Sea and are within easy reach of the capital, Algiers. The desert holds 8,000-year-old cave paintings and the wonderful Haggar Mountains.
• Full range of travel options, including desert safaris in the Sahara and staying with the Tuareg
• Detailed coverage of the capital, Algiers, and its intriguing Kasbah (a World Heritage Site), now safe after more than a decade out of bounds
• Algerian culture with coverage of the Tuareg, Berber, Arab areas
