➡️ Stop 1: Emir Abdelkader Mosque

Begin your journey at 9AM at the iconic Emir Abdelkader Mosque, the spiritual heart of Constantine and the second-largest mosque in Algeria.

Named after the revered Emir Abdelkader, a national hero who led the resistance against French colonization, this architectural masterpiece reflects both religious devotion and Algerian pride.

➡️ Stop 2: Cirta National Museum

Next, drive to the Cirta National Museum, Constantine’s premier cultural institution, housed in a Greco-Roman-style villa dating back to 1930.

You will explore a diverse collection of archaeological artifacts, Roman mosaics, Islamic art, and 19th–20th century paintings.

➡️ Stop 3: The Cascade Bridge

Drive again to the Cascade Bridge. The area is renowned for its picturesque waterfalls, where the Rhumel River cascades through the rocky landscape and gorges, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

It's an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts.

➡️ Stop 4: El Kantara Bridge

Drive to the corniche, then El Kantara Bridge, the oldest and most historically significant bridge in Constantine.

Spanning the Rhumel River gorge, this bridge has served as a vital connection point for centuries, and it is built on different layers: Roman, Ottoman, and French.

➡️ Stop 5: The Old Medina 

Navigate through narrow, labyrinthine streets and experience the lively souks where artisans sell handcrafted goods, spices, and local delicacies—reflecting the medina's enduring role as a commercial hub.

➡️ Stop 6: Ahmed Bey Palace 

Step into 19th-century Ottoman Algeria at the Ahmed Bey Palace, a masterpiece of Moorish architecture with its marble columns, carved cedar doors, painted walls, and peaceful courtyards.

The palace reflects the refined taste of Constantine’s last Ottoman ruler.

➡️ Stop 7: Sidi M'Cid Bridge 

Walk to the iconic Sidi M'Cid Bridge, suspended 175 meters (574 feet) above the Rhumel River. It was the highest in the world upon its completion in 1912.

And from there, you can see the hospital and the Monument to the Dead.

➡️ Stop 8: Monument to the Dead (WW1 Memorial)

Perched atop the cliffs of Sidi M’Cid Hill, the Monument aux Morts stands as a tribute to the soldiers from Constantine who perished during World War I.

This 21-meter-high triumphal arch, inspired by the Roman Arch of Trajan in Timgad, was constructed between 1918 and 1930.

➡️ Stop 9: Mellah Slimane Footbridge 

Conclude your exploration with the Mellah Slimane Bridge, also known as the "Lift Bridge" (Pont de l'Ascenseur)—a bridge that wobbles with every step you take.

Why not end your day with a peaceful stroll along the Rhumel Gorge in Constantine? As the sun sets behind the bridges and cliffs, the golden light casts a magical glow over the city’s dramatic skyline.
