Djelfa

Djelfa initially was built by the Roman empire, but the modern town was reclaimed as a French military post and laid out in a geometric plan. Between the dry, steppe-like high plateaus to the north, characterised by intermittent salt lakes, and the massive Sahara to the south, Djelfa is known for its Neolithic rock carvings dating back to 5000 BC.

Just a little north of the town lies an imposing feature known as Rocher de Sel or Salt rock resulting from the constant erosion by the rain. You will also discover on your visit, Megalitihgy funerary structures

Trade is an essential part for the semi-nomadic Ouled Nail confederation serving as an income selling their livestock, at the weekly markets

Testimonials

Travelled to China

Our trip went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All the guides and drivers were really good except for the fellow in Beijing who picked us up and took us out on the Sunday - he was hard work. We really liked the accommodation in the traditional style hotels in the older areas.
