The American Herald newspaper, in a long feature report on Algeria, accompanied by photos, described it as a compelling destination and a true treasure, hosting seven sites inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The Journal took its readers on a magical, heritage-rich tour through 20 Algerian cities it considers essential stops for every passionate traveler.
The report began in the capital city of Algiers ("The Joy"), pausing at the Citadel classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, describing it as a vibrant complex featuring its Ottoman-era palaces, ancient quarters, enduring mosques, and staircases worn smooth by centuries of footsteps.
The newspaper added that Algiers is also home to notable landmarks such as the African Virgin Church, the Chameh Experiments Garden, the Martyrs' Memorial, and the National Bardo Museum.
The reporter also visited the city of Constantine and its hanging bridges, the Ahmed Bey Palace with its Andalusian architecture and its ornate ceilings and its pointed arches.
The report touches on Oran, the quiet and peaceful city, the second largest city in Algeria where Rai music emerged—this raw, eclectic genre resulting from the fusion of traditional Bedouin singing and Andalusian melodies.
After the city of Annaba, where Saint Augustine once lived, today's journey continues to Timgad, the Roman miracle city, and the national park of Tassili n'Ajjer, which hosts one of the most prominent prehistoric rock ensembles in the world. It is noted that UNESCO included it in its World Heritage List in 1982 as part of the dual cultural and natural heritage designation—a classification held by only a few sites on Earth.
The American daily did not overlook the other prominent destination, namely Tamangest, capital of Hoggar
The newspaper also wrote that Algeria is also Ghardaïa and its five palaces, Tlemcen, and its Andalusian arts, Djémila (Sétif) and its Roman ruins, as well as ancient Tipasa.
The American daily highlighted other cities such as Skikda or the old "Rusikada," Mostaganem, Jijel, and the famous Corniche, and Béjaïa known for its National Heritage of Qoraya, and Tizi Ouzou renowned for its Djurdjura mountain range and ancient peaks that preserve Berber culture.
