During a time when travel bucket lists tend to be heavily influenced by social media, we think it\u2019s worth it to prioritize places that haven\u2019t yet managed a trending hashtag. If you\u2019re looking to plan a trip to one of these off-the-beaten-path locations, we think you should definitely consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Algeria.d3.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Algeria<\/a>. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/4-stunning-swiss-train-trips-from-zurich-you-must-take\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: 4 stunning Swiss train trips from Zurich you must see<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>It\u2019s budget friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpCMs4BhPyh\/<\/p>\n<p>Everybody loves a good budget-friendly trip, especially with the surge of basic economy class additions (which admittedly have their pros and cons), as well as the wider availability of low-cost airfare. But just because it\u2019s cheap to get there doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll be cheap once you hit the ground (we&#8217;re looking at you, Iceland). In Algeria, it costs about .84USD to buy 100 Algerian Dinar at the official exchange rate, and you can do even better with the &#8220;black market&#8221; exchange rate. The Dinar goes pretty far. It costs about $1.25\u2013$2 for a pint and $4\u2013$6.50 for a three-course, mid-range meal. You can easily find a $45 hotel room and get by on a $75 per day budget, making the country a very economical option.<\/p>\n<p>Even hiring a guide won&#8217;t set you back too much. We hired Omar from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fancyalgeria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fancy Algeria<\/a> to teach us about what we were seeing. Transportation (including all flights within the country), hotels and his guiding services for almost two weeks, cost only around $1,300 each. We don&#8217;t know of many other places where it&#8217;s possible to get a full guided tour for that price. Of course, your price may vary depending on what you want to see, your accommodation standards, and the number of people in your group.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>See Roman ruins without visiting Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bo9JRtaBA67\/<\/p>\n<p>There is a town in northern Algeria called Timgad, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Timgad was founded in about AD 100 as a Roman-Berber city and some of the pillars, structures and foundations still stand today. Timgad is often described as the \u201cPompeii of Africa,\u201d which is pretty cool considering how Algeria is often considered culturally far from Italy. In reality, Algeria is historically and geographically close to southern Europe and its Roman roots run deep. There are a number of other well-preserved Roman sites in Algeria, as well, so make sure you have enough time to visit Djemila and Tipasa too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Algeria boasts loads of interesting cultures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpKPWfthFXt\/<\/p>\n<p>Not only does Algeria have Roman and Berber heritage, the majority of the population today is Arab. This isn\u2019t surprising due to its location in North Africa, but trace Algeria\u2019s history and you&#8217;ll see the country has been continually shaped by a variety of different cultures. For example, the collective of Gharda\u00efa contains five different towns: Garda\u00efa, Melika, Beni Isguen, Bou Noura and El-Atteuf. These five towns may be hard to distinguish for outsiders, but they were shaped by distinctly different cultural signatures. This UNESCO desert collective is located on the M\u2019Zab river valley and was originally settled by a culture of non-Arabic Muslims, a culture that still exists in the Sahara today and is probably not like anything you&#8217;ve ever imagined.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get a glimpse of the Sahara<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BoxOCmEh_lF\/<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Sahara, Gharda\u00efa is a good place to get a good look at what Sahara living is like. However, there are several towns that are ideal for a desert visit, including Taghit. Taghit is located near the Moroccan border and it\u2019s a small commune surrounded by great desert sand dunes. The settlement in Taghit is made possible by an underground water table Oued Zousfana, which provides water to this small oasis of just over 6,000 people. It\u2019s definitely worth a stop if you\u2019d like to explore Algeria\u2019s small desert towns and get a glimpse of a big Sahara sand dune!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>See a ton of UNESCO sites<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BppsCp4jcV8\/<\/p>\n<p>Besides Timgad and Garda\u00efa, Algeria plays host to an impressive array of UNESCO World Heritage sites. There are seven official UNESCO sites in Algeria, including six cultural and one mixed site. The mixed site, <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tassili n\u2019Ajjer<\/a>, is located in southern Algeria and contains more than 15,000 prehistoric drawings, making it a site of major archaeological importance. In central Algeria, <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">M\u2019Zab Valley<\/a> qualifies as its own UNESCO site and, as mentioned before, contains the Gharda\u00efa collective. The other five sites dot Algeria&#8217;s northern coast and they include the ruins at <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Timgad<\/a>, the mountainous Muslim ruins of <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Qal\u2019a of Beni Hammad<\/a>, Roman ruins at <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dj\u00e9mila<\/a>, the coastal Islamic city <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kasbah of Algiers<\/a> and the multicultural Mediterranean ruins of <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tipasa<\/a>. A great deal of human history is documented throughout Algeria, and every bit of it is worth exploring.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have we convinced you to visit Algeria, or have you already been?
