Our starting point begins with the exploration of the surrounding M'zab Valley comprised of five villages. We start with El Atteuf which is the first village erected by the Mzabite people in the region in 1020 where you can notice palmeraies with the city behind them. You will wander around the narrow passageways of the town, admire the minarets with the distinctive architecture.

We visit the graves and the 700 year old mosque of Shikh Sidi Brahim.

Then we continue our visit to the Ksar of Ghardaia , also called the pearl of the oases and the capital of the M'zab Valley organized around a hill. where yu are going to see a great mosque which is considered to be the central and focal point around which all the other elements of religious and worldly life are articulated.

With the batteries recharged, we are going straight to the fortified city of Beni Isguen, the most enigmatic of all the M'Zab cities, where you can navigate your way through the narrow maze-like streets with numerous wells through archways and passageways to a small whitewashed old building and also visit the extreme watchtower to have a fantastic view of the town.

We finish our tour by visiting the local liveliest market place of Beni Isguen. The market square of Criée is far from the city center and is located on the outskirts of Ksar. It's the best place where you can buy goods and souvenirs. This place opens daily just after the "Asr" prayer except on Fridays.
