ALGERIA…THE LAND OF THE ROMAN RUINS
April 13 - April 25, 2026
Led by Professor and Tour Lecturer Iain Shearer
Algeria is a vast country of breathtaking scenery, well-preserved Roman ruins, pre-historic cave paintings, impressive museums, and a strong Berber culture. This segment of the journey will take you from the sweeping shores of the Mediterranean to the majestic green mountains, through the vast Sahara Desert, and into the palm-fringed oases. Explore the Roman ruins of Timgad, the former Roman port of Caesarea, the oasis town of Bou Saada, the Kasbah of Algiers, and the unique fortified town of Ghardaia and its Mozabite villages. No tour of Algeria would be complete without a visit to the dramatic city of Constantine, the “city of gorges and bridges.”
