Guided Tours and Visits to Ghardaia and Beni Isguen
The Saharan town of Ghardaia, just over an hour by plane from the capital Algiers, is one of the pentapolis towns of the UNESCO World Heritage M’Zab Valley.Expert Algeria’s Ghardaia itineraries visit all the sites of the M’Zab, including the walled town of Beni Isguen – normally closed to foreigners – where the women, clad entirely in white, reveal only one eye to the outside world.
Further highlights of our M’Zab programs include the old heart of Ghardaia, the market square (pictured above), the “four-fingered” mosque, the tombs of the M’Zab’s religious leaders and a date farm with a centuries-old irrigation system – a magnum opus of democratic engineering.
