What are the most spectacular roads in Algeria?

Located in the northern part of Africa, driving the roads of Algeria is an experience like no other. The 80% of the country is desert and its landscape comprises mountains, plateaus, and coastal plains as well. So, finding a great road trip is not difficult at all.

If you want to discover the country by road, you must try the Trans-Sahara Highway, a 4,500-kilometer road traversing Algeria’s landscape, as well as parts of Niger and Nigeria. In the northern part of the country, you can try to drive to Tikjda Pass, a mountain pass at an elevation of 1.462m (4,796ft) above sea level. Situated in the province of Bouïra, it offers a scenic drive through the Kabylie mountains. For those seeking a journey to the heights, Col de Tirourda is a high mountain pass, at 1.737m (5,698ft) above sea level, marking the boundary between Bouïra and Tizi Ouzou provinces in the northern part of the country.
