The vastness of the Algerian Sahara
Also known as the Great South of Algeria, the Sahara Desert covers 90% of the country’s territory. Despite being home to only about 10.5% of the population, the Sahara is a cosmopolitan region. It is inhabited by various nomadic and sedentary ethnic groups, including the Rebaïa, the Châamba, and the Tuareg. The extraordinary fauna and flora found in the desert make it a mythical place and provide an opportunity for capturing stunning photographs.

Constantine, the city of bridges
Metropolis of the North-East of Algeria, Constantine is the 3rd most populated city of the country. Taking its nickname from the 7 magnificent bridges that cross the Rhumel River, the city also has a unique urban landscape. Capital of craftsmanship, the secrets of the art of embroidery, boilermaking and pottery are well kept there and reinforce the mysterious image that Constantine offers us.
