We loved the lively atmosphere, the friendly people, and the lovely streets filled with love, music, dance, and laughter.

On the next day, we went sightseeing but didn't get to see anything due to a sandstorm. :( In the afternoon the weather...

On Tuesday, the 4th of September we flew from Tunis to our third destination – Algiers, the capital of Algeria. We only had one afternoon to explore the city.

Our super friendly tour guide picked us up at...
