Embark on a journey to explore the renowned landmarks of Algiers, including the Palace of Rais, during this Kasbah tour that delves into the rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Guided Tour of the Kasbah in Algiers
The adventure begins by gathering next to the statue of Bologhine Ben Ziri, the esteemed founder of the Amazigh dynasty of the Ziris. From this point, we ascend towards the upper region of the Kasbah of Algiers, a captivating stronghold recognized as a World Heritage Site.
As we navigate the intricate alleys of this coastal district along the Mediterranean Sea, the traditional Arab homes will catch our eye. Our path will also lead us past several shops showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Algeria.
Continuing through the Kasbah, we will pause at the Ketchaoua mosque, taking in the intricate features of its stunning facade. The vibrant tiles adorning the entrance, adorned in a kaleidoscope of purple, green, and blue, will surely captivate your senses.
Our route then takes us into the lower section of the kasbah, where we’ll enter the magnificent Palace of Rais. Here, we’ll uncover the intriguing background for its alternate name, Bastion 23. Within this grand 16th-century complex, consisting of three palaces and six opulent mansions, stories of past illustrious residents await us. Tales of intrigue and romance have unfolded within these storied walls!
We will wrap up our exploration at 12 pm, strolling through the vibrant streets of the lower kasbah area.
