We took a trip to Algeria in 2009 where we visited the city of Algiers, the backcountry near Akbou, and the city of Béjaïa. It was quite off the beaten path. We got to go as we were invited to a wedding in Kabalie, a region that is part of the Tell Atlas mountain chain. Here are a few photos documenting our time there.
