The **largest country in Africa**, imposing Algeria covers an area of almost two and a half million square kilometers. From the green and mountainous Mediterranean coast, where most of its population lives, Algeria sweeps southward into the heart of the Sahara Desert. **Nearly 90% of Algeria is uninhabited**, with most of the land being in the Sahara, a hot, dry and unforgiving region covering 80% of the country. As a **gateway to North Africa’s mountains, beaches and deserts, Algeria is a melting pot of cultures** – having seen, over millennia, the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, French and even pirates pass through it. Algeria’s history, like most of North Africa, is marked by warring tribes, Islamisation and the subsequent colonisation by European powers. The country was occupied by France for 132 years until 1962, when a brutal bloodbath saw it finally gain independence, only for the Algeria to plunge into civil war in the 1990s. Though still scarred by the unrest of the past, today Algeria one of the most developed countries in Africa, and has **much to offer travelers, from magical summers on the Mediterranean coast to a vast desert, imposing Roman ruins and prehistoric art** – all infused with the depth of Arabic and Bedouin culture. In the harsh and unforgiving Sahara, the everchanging desert terrain is a testament to the **eternal transformation of this region by the elements**. Ever so slowly, **rocks are whittled** **into sculptures of dramatic and extraordinary beauty**. The result is a near-indescribable landscape of vivid red dunes, formidable rock formations and twisting canyons that hide crystal-clear watering holes. Aside from incredible beauty, there is a rich, fascinating and ancient history here, too, going back to the early days of humanity. **Unique, UNESCO-listed archaeological sites** house the remains of hominids and Homo Sapiens more than two million years old, and the concentration of **cave paintings and engravings** essentially make the area an open-air museum. In this trip, we go off the beaten path to capture Algeria’s two extremes, taking in the sparkling Mediterranean coast as well as the breathtaking desert dunes. We’ll move from the ancient port city of Béjaïa to the endless desert vistas of Djanet, discovering majestic landscapes, fascinating history, and age-old Berber traditions along the way. **Let’s go!** **Day 1 // Algiers & Flight to Tamanrasset** Arrival in Algiers, immigration, coffee and head straight to the city. First we head up to the city's heights to discover **Makam Echahid, a monument in memory of Algerian fighters** who fell for the liberation of the country. Dominating the city from a height of 92 meters, it is composed of three concrete palm trees joined together, symbolizing the country’s three revolutions. After lunch in the city center, we’ll **explore the Kasbah**, meeting some of its artisans. We’ll then **tour the city’s major landmarks**, including Sidi Ramdane Mosque, the Bir Chebana fountain, Princess Khedaoudj Palace, Mustapha Pasha Palace, the fishing district, the New Mosque, Church of the Sacred Heart, the famous Grande Poste, Basilica of Our Lady of Africa and more. We’ll have dinner near the airport, then catch our domestic flight to Tamanrasset. Arrival, transfer to our camp for overnight. **Day 2 // Hoggar and Assekrem** Early departure for a full-day excursion to the heart of the Hoggar Mountains. Visit Assekrem, the highest point of the region, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Atakor Mountains, and the Hermitage of Father de Foucauld, built in 1910. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the Afilal guelta, then hike to the summit. Overnight bivouac at the mountain refuge. **Day 3 //** **Tagmart** Wake up early to witness the spectacular sunrise from the plateau. After breakfast, set out for an excursion to the rock art site of Tagmart, where ancient engravings depict early human life and the origins of calligraphy. Return to Tamanrasset by late afternoon for a city tour of this vibrant capital of the Ahaggar region. Dinner and overnight stay in a local guesthouse (gîte). **Day 4 // Tamanrasset- Algiers – Béjaïa** Early start this morning, as we fly from Tamanrasset to Algiers, where we’ll connect for a flight to **the port city of Béjaïa, located on one of the most beautiful bays of the Mediterranean coast** and backdropped by the Babors mountain range. Béjaïa has a deep history, standing on the site of the ancient Carthaginian city of Saldae, and occupied over the millennia by the Romans, Vandals, Spanish and Ottomans. For centuries, it was also a stronghold of the Barbary pirates who roamed the North African coast. After checking into the hotel, we’ll take a city tour, discovering monuments such as the 12th century casbah, rebuilt by the Spaniards when the city was taken in 1510, and historic Bab El Fouka fort. **In the evening celebration of NYE Algerian style!** **Day 5 // Béjaïa** In the morning, we’ll make our way into **Gouraya National Park, a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve**, trekking to the summit of Yemma Gouraya at an altitude of 660 meters. The mountain is the burial place of its namesake, and the city's patron saint, Yemma Gouraya. At the top we’ll find a fort built by the Spanish in the 16th century, and enjoy sweeping views over the area and coastline. We’ll return to town to refuel with some lunch, then head back to the park to for a **hike to Pic des Singes, or Peak of the Monkeys**, located in the Cap Carbon area very near to the coast. We’ll ascend 430 meters to this habitat for the endangered Barbary macaque, and hopefully enjoy some close encounters with these cute and mischievous creatures – the only African primate that survives north of the Sahara Desert. **Day 6 // Coastal Drive & Departure** This morning we’ll make our way back to Algiers along the beautiful Mediterranean coast, making stops at **the port towns of Azzefoune and Tigzirt**, where Roman ruins have weathered the elements and stood the test of time. We’ll have lunch near the airport in Algiers then catch our mid-afternoon flight. **Level of Difficulty:** Easy & relaxing, available to everyone. **Duration:** 6 days **Activities:** Off roading, desert and cliff trekking, cultural immersion, camping, sightseeing, discovering ancient cities. **Accommodation and meals:** Camping + hotel (double sharing). 3 days bivouac meals in the desert included, restaurant meals excluded. **Cost: AED 7650 excl. international flights.** Domestic flights included. Cost valid until DEC 18. **Flights:** direct Emirates approx. 3600 AED. **Visa:** visa on arrival arrangements included, visa fee \~145 EUR payable on arrival. **Specifically excluded:** insurance, visa on arrival fee, restaurant meals.

Coming in January 2026: a warm, reflective gathering to close one chapter and open another. More details coming soon. Together, we look back at the moments, shifts, and practices that shaped the past year—what worked, what surprised us, and what we’re ready to release. Then we lean forward into who we want to become: the intentions, experiments, and stories we want next January’s version of ourselves to be telling. A gentle, inspiring circle that invites clarity, connection, and shared wisdom.Check us out on Meetup to learn more and rsvp #womeninagilecolumbus #womeninagile

Join us to discuss our January read: Midnight in Everwood Marietta Stelle longs to be a ballerina but, as Christmas draws nearer, her dancing days are numbered – she must marry and take up her place in society in the New Year. But, when a mysterious toymaker, Dr Drosselmeier, purchases a neighbouring townhouse, it heralds the arrival of magic and wonder in Marietta’s life. After Drosselmeier constructs an elaborate theatrical set for her final ballet performance on Christmas Eve, Marietta discovers it carries a magic all of its own – a magic darker than anyone could imagine. As the clock chimes midnight, Marietta finds herself transported from her family’s ballroom to a frozen sugar palace, silent with secrets, in a forest of snow-topped fir trees. She must find a way to return home before she’s trapped in Everwood’s enchanting grip forever. In the darkness of night, magic awaits and you will never forget what you find here…

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
