Discover the iconic monuments of Algiers, like the Palace of Rais, on this tour of the Kasbah and uncover the storied past of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We'll meet up next to the statue of Bologhine Ben Ziri, founder of the Amazigh dynasty of the Ziris. From this sculpture, we head to the upper part of the Algiers Kasbah: a beautiful citadel declared a World Heritage Site.
As we walk through the narrow streets of this neighborhood, located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, we'll notice the traditional Arab houses that line up alongside them. During the walk, we'll also pass numerous stores where we'll see the traditional products of Algerian craftsmanship.
We'll continue the guided tour through the Kasbah of Algiers in front of the Ketchaoua mosque, where we'll admire the main details of its elegant facade. You'll be amazed by the colorful tiles on the front of the mosque, which masterfully blend various shapes painted in vivid shades of purple, green, and blue.
The route will then take us into the lower part of the kasbah, where we'll step inside the magnificent Palace of Rais. Here, we'll reveal the fascinating story of why this is also known as Bastion 23. Inside this great monumental 16th-century complex, actually formed by three palaces and six luxurious mansions, we'll learn about the history of its illustrious inhabitants. More than one conspiracy and one romance have been brewed within these walls!
Finally, at 12 pm, we'll conclude the tour by walking through the main streets of the lower part of the kasbah.
