Bou Saada

Algeria

This city suits travelers looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path North African experience, not for those expecting a bustling metropolis. Best to visit from October to April for milder weather. Budget around 500-800 CFA per person. Transport relies on taxis, with longer travel times between areas. Must-see: Bou Saada market and nearby desert landscapes. Skip the local museum—limited exhibits and no guides. Avoid hailing taxis on the street, as they may overcharge.
