TIMIMOUN — Life Won from the Desert
The palm grove, the market, the craftswomen, the lanes of the old ksar: Timimoun seems to overflow with an improbable energy in the middle of the Sahara. But this abundance is no natural miracle. It tells of centuries of ingenuity, movement and collective organisation in a territory where water determines everything.
THE PLACE TO SEE
The Jardin d’Essai, Algiers’ Jungle
In Hamma, a formal French garden vista opens below the Martyrs’ Memorial. Then, just a few steps to one side take you into almost tropical vegetation. A place you visit for a stroll and end up getting lost in.
