Bou Saada in private weekend by a local

Bou Saada is the ideal destination to escape for a weekend. Located just three hours drive from Algiers, this oasis offers a real change of scenery. The Ksar of Bou Saada is a must. Although some streets are in poor condition, walking through its inhabited streets is a unique experience. Locals, warm and welcoming, will be happy to share their anecdotes and show you the way to historic mosques dating back centuries. Also take the opportunity to visit the school where former President Mohamed Boudiaf studied in the 1930s, a fascinating dive into local history.
