From the Mediterranean coastline to the Sahara Desert, Algeria is home to more natural wonders than we can count. Some of them are safely tucked away inside its beautiful national parks, and here are three that you should check out while in this North African country.

Chréa National Park

If you think it’s impossible to go skiing in Africa, think again! Ski stations on the African continent are truly few and far in between, and Algeria happens to be home to one of the very best. It can be found inside Chréa National Park, located within the Tell Atlas Mountains.

Djurdjura National Park

Speaking of beautiful national parks that you can find in the Tell Atlas area, it doesn’t get much better than Djurdjura. Adventure seekers will feel right home at this national park in the middle of lush cedar forest because it has many beautiful caves, gorges, and hiking trails in store.

Tassili n’Ajjer National Park

If you want to explore the Sahara Desert while in Algeria, this national park is a good place to start. Tassili n’Ajjer is best known for its beautiful landscapes with a moonlike vibe, but it’s also worth visiting for its cave paintings since you can find some of the most important prehistoric cave art in the world right here.
