Welcome to Blida, Algeria, where the mountains are as dramatic as your last family vacation slideshow. This city, nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, offers picturesque landscapes that may just trick you into thinking you’re in a movie set. With only two hotels available, you’ll have more time to explore the stunning gardens and parks than to choose where to sleep—though isn’t that the real adventure?
Staying in Blida means you’re close to the vibrant Bouchaoui Forest and the charming El-Bordj neighborhood, where the coffee is strong and the pastries are dangerously good. If you’re a fan of history, the nearby ruins of the Roman city of Timgad will make you feel like Indiana Jones, minus the hat.
The best time to visit is during the spring when the flowers bloom and the weather is just shy of perfect—ideal for avoiding awkward tan lines. And why bother with the stress of hotel hunting when you can compare prices on FlyDoha? We promise it’s less painful than trying to decipher a hotel’s online reviews.
