Algiers, Algeria

Casbah Stroll & Traditional House

PEER INTO THE INTIMATE CORRIDORS OF CASBAH LIFE Venture into the heart of daily life in Algiers: its vibrant hillside Casbah. Meet your guide at our berth and ascend the hills beyond the waterfront by motor coach. Near the topmost reaches of the historic and atmospheric Casbah, step into the labyrinth of winding streets and alleyways of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk a short distance through narrow warrens, passing quaint homes and small shops. You will pause at a traditional house, where your hostess welcomes you. From here, the vast expanse of the tight-knit Casbah stretches before you. Enjoy some customary mint tea before you continue exploring the maze of cobblestone streets, dotted with handicraft stalls and local workshops, with time to browse wooden and brass handicrafts and leather goods. Rejoin your motor coach for the return journey to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
