Algiers: The Casbah, the Colonial City, and
the Upmarket Hills
Tour Overview
A native of the Casbah of Algiers and a graduate in tourism and civil engineering, I work at the Ministry of Culture in the fields of heritage restoration and archaeology. As a specialized tour guide, I draw on my dual technical and historical expertise to create immersive, themed tours. Together, we’ll explore the unique architecture and urban planning of the Casbah, the secrets of the historic colonial center, and the 19th-century residential hills, famous for their gardens and exceptional panoramic views of the Bay of Algiers.

Customer Reviews
Look no further—Rafik is the guide you need! We had a wonderful time on this tour of the Casbah. Rafik was passionate and, above all, very engaging. He gave us in-depth information about the Casbah’s architecture, the buildings, their layout, and the neighborhood’s architectural features. This allowed us to see the area in a new light and truly understand what we were looking at. We also really appreciated his explanations about the history and daily life of the Casbah, as well as the anecdotes that brought the tour to life. An enriching and authentic tour that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover the Casbah in a way that goes beyond the typical tourist experience. A big thank you to Rafik for this wonderful experience! ????????❤️
