After lunch, get ready for a shift in gear - you're heading to Les Grottes de Beni Add.

The day ends with an exotic dinner serving traditional Algerian dishes. Here’s a tip: Don’t miss out on the couscous!

Now, here's a contrast to the serene morning. Post lunch, make your way to the bustling heart of the city - The Great Market. This is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on some authentic Algerian artifacts, textiles, and spices. Always wanted to visit a palace? Here's your chance!
