📍 Alger, Algeria 🇩🇿

The more I travel, the more I long to travel 🌍

What's the name of that syndrome, and does anyone else suffer from it? 😁

Whenever I visit a destination I didn't know much about before, I always think anew, "God, our world is so vast, and time is so limited."

In the capital of Algiers, we're spending another day that started with breakfast and coffee at one of the most authentic hotels I've ever stayed in, the El Djazaïr Hotel (that's how Algiers' capital is called in Arabic; 3rd photo). This hotel opened its doors in the late 19th century. Many famous and historically significant figures have stayed here, such as Che Guevara and Winston Churchill...

Next, we visit the El Hamma Botanical Garden, a visit I wasn't particularly looking forward to until we arrived. I thought, "What can be so special about a botanical garden when I've seen plenty of them?" However! The Dragon Tree Avenue (1st photo, characteristic of Yemen's Socotra Island, a place I've been eager to visit), the bamboo avenue (no need to go all the way to Japan for that), palms reaching the clouds, and vines... Later, I Googled and found out that this botanical garden has been declared the most beautiful in Africa and the third most beautiful in the world when considering its size and the variety of plant species.

Finally, the Palais des Rais, or Bastion 23, one of the historically most significant buildings in Algiers. Although I haven't been to Portugal, I would say its interior architecture is reminiscent of that country. As a lover of colors and patterns, we couldn't have bid farewell to the capital of Algiers in a better way as we embarked on our adventure in the Sahara...

Please share your impressions of Algiers, the capital. Did you envision it this way, and how do you like it? 🎋💚🌴
