About this experience

My tour stands out for its human and authentic dimension. Together, we don’t just explore monuments. I experience the soul of Constantine, the city suspended between sky and gorges.

I share with my travelers the history, legends, and emotions that bring each place to life, whether it’s the Sidi M’Cid Bridge, the Medina, or Ahmed Bey Palace. Each stop becomes a meeting point between past and present, between stone and the daily life of the people of Constantine.

Unlike traditional tours, I take the time to observe, listen, and feel. I like to adapt the visit to each person’s rhythm and curiosity, so that it is at once cultural, friendly, and inspiring.

Detailed itinerary

1

During this experience, you will be immersed in a place of impressive majesty, combining Andalusian architecture, Islamic art, and modern techniques. You will admire its vast domes, its two 107-meter-high minarets, and its magnificent hand-carved marble decorations. You will have the opportunity to:

Explore the majestic interior of the prayer hall.

Discover the intricate details of the mosaics, arabesques, and Quranic inscriptions.

Enjoy a moment of contemplation in the peaceful courtyard surrounded by arcades.

Take photos (in the permitted areas).

Learn more about the spiritual and architectural symbolism of this unique monument.

2

Dive into the fascinating history of Constantine through an immersive visit to the Cirta Museum, one of the oldest museums in Algeria.
Accompanied by a passionate guide, travelers will discover archaeological treasures, works of art, and ethnographic objects that bear witness to the region’s rich past — from prehistory to the Ottoman era.

3

The Bridge of the Waterfalls, suspended above the Rhumel Gorge, offers a breathtaking view of the roaring cascades plunging into the void, creating a natural spectacle of striking beauty.

4

El Kantara Bridge, the oldest and most legendary bridge in the City of Bridges.

Visitors will cross this impressive structure spanning the Rhumel Gorge — a natural chasm over 120 meters deep — offering a spectacular view of the cliffs, the hanging houses, and the other iconic bridges of the city.

5

By booking this experience, we will dive together into the living heart of Constantine, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. We will walk through the narrow, winding alleys of the medina, where every stone, every carved door, and every scent tells a thousand-year-old story.

Accompanied by a passionate guide, we will discover traditional houses, old mosques, hidden fountains, and lively souks where the echoes of the Ottoman and Andalusian past still resonate. We will meet local artisans — brass workers, weavers, and jewelers — who continue to preserve ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation.

6

Ahmed Bey Palace — a true 19th-century masterpiece — immerses us in the refined world of the last Bey of Constantine, where history, art, and legend intertwine.

From the moment we enter, we will admire the Andalusian mosaics, finely carved woodwork, and colorful ceramics that adorn the palace’s galleries. We will stroll through its bright courtyards, inner gardens scented with orange trees, and richly decorated rooms that showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of that era.

7

More than 175 meters above the Rhumel, we will walk across this dizzying bridge that connects the old city to the Coudiat Hill, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the gorges, cliffs, and rooftops of the medina. The wind, the void, and the roar of the gorge below will create a unique sensation of freedom and vertigo.

8

Located on Sidi M’Cid Hill, this majestic monument overlooks the city and offers a spectacular view of the Rhumel Gorge, the suspension bridges, and the old medina.

As you climb the steps, we will take time to admire the imposing architecture of this memorial, built in 1930 to honor the people of Constantine who fell during the First World War. Its silhouette, inspired by ancient temples, and the winged statue of Victory symbolize memory, peace, and the resilience of the people.

9

The Mellah Slimane Footbridge, suspended above the Rhumel Gorge, is a long and narrow pedestrian bridge connecting the old city to the Coudiat Hill. It offers a striking panorama of the gorges, cliffs, and the Sidi M’Cid Bridge rising proudly above us.
As you walk across the footbridge, we will feel the lightness of the void, the breath of the wind, and the raw beauty of Constantine’s landscape. It is an ideal spot to contemplate the “suspended city” in all its splendor — between sky, stone, and light.
