Fly to Constantine, destination Algeria!

A city in an eagle's nest, in the heart of the Algerian mountains!

Located in the northeast of Algeria, this historic city is crossed by the Rhummel gorges. The old quarter is built on a rocky promontory with vertiginous cliffs, which has protected the inhabitants from invaders for thousands of years. Getting lost in the winding streets will bring you many surprises. You can discover the Sidi El-Kettani mosque, which houses the tomb of Salah Bey. The two banks are connected by seven bridges with bold architecture, which earned Constantine the nickname "city of suspension bridges". You can also walk along the tourist path, which goes deep into the gorge and offers exceptional views.

A stay in Constantine also immerses you in ancient history. Located about thirty kilometers away, the ruins of the Numidian and then Roman city of Tiddis offer you a grandiose spectacle.
