Tassili N’Ajjer (Tamanrasset and Illizi) :

Located in a strange lunar landscape of great geological interest This site is home to one of the most important groupings of prehistoric cave art in the world. More than 15,000 drawings and engravings record the climatic changes, animal migrations and evolution of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6,000 B.C. to the first centuries of the present era.

The goological formations are of outstranding scenic interest, with eroded sandstones forming "forests of rock"

Djemila Wilaya of Sétif

Situated 900 metres above sea-level, Djemila, or Cuicul, with its forum, temples, basilicas, triumphal arches and houses, is an interesting example of Roman town planning adapted to a mountain location.

 M’Zab Valley Wilaya of Ghardaïa

A traditional human habitat created in the 10th century by the Ibadites around their five "ksour" (fortified cities), has been preserved intact in the M’Zab valley. Simple, functional and perfectly adapted to the environment, the architecture of M’Zab was designed for community living while conforming to the structure of the family. It is a source of inspiration for today’s urban planners.

Kasbah of Algiers

The Kasbah is a unique kind of medina or Islamic city. It stands in one of the finest coastal sites on the Mediterranean where a Carthaginian trading-post was established in the 4th century B.C. The Kasbah contains the remains of the citadel, old mosques and palaces as well as the vestiges of a traditional urban structure associated with a deep-rooted sense of community.

Al Qal’a of Beni Hammad, Province of M’Sila, Commune of Maadid “Bechara”

In a mountainous site of extraordinary beauty, the ruins of the first capital of the Hammadid emirs, founded in 1007 and demolished in 1152, provide an authentic picture of a fortified Muslim city. The mosque, whose prayer room has 13 aisles with eight bays, is one of the largest in Algeria.

Timgad, Province of Batna

Timgad that lies on the northern slopes of the Aurès Mountains, was created to serve as a military colony by the Emperor Trajan in 100 A.D. With its square enclosure and orthogonal design based on the cardo and decumanus, the two perpendicular routes running through the city, this site is an excellent example of the Roman town planning.

Tipaza, Province of Tipaza

On the shores of the Mediterranean, Tipaza was an ancient Punic trading post conquered by Rome and turned into a strategic base for the conquest of the kingdoms of Mauretania. It comprises a unique group of Phoenician, Roman, Paleo-Christian and Byzantine ruins alongside indigenous monuments such as the Kbar Er-roumia, the great royal mausoleum of Mauretania, sometimes known as the “tomb of the Christian woman”.

Through its network, the National Agency for Investment Development (ANDI) supports foreign operators in their search for partners and projects in Algeria at a central and local level.

The agency currently has a network of 27 one-stop services across the country which help investors to complete the formalities involved in setting up businesses and implementing investment projects and facilitate their access to technical and regulatory information, as well as monitoring projects. The agency is the ideal intermediary for all investment opportunities in Algeria.

In this regard and in order to encourage and facilitate foreign investment in Algeria and enable Algerian operators to find foreign partners and vice versa, the National Agency for Investment Development (ANDI) has setup a partnership clearing-house, to be used as a tool for liaison between Algerian operators and foreigners. It comprises a database which enables the two parties to find business contacts and implement partnership activities, in conformity with the 51-49% requirement.

Thus, foreign investors interested in investing in Algeria will have the opportunity to research the projects submitted to the partnership clearing-house, which will give them an idea of the investment proposals from local operators. In addition, through this mechanism, Algerian operators will be able to find foreign business partners more easily to whom they have previously submitted their project ideas.

Projects can be registered in the framework of the partnership clearing-house by sending an email to the following address: .

The constitution, which sets out the general principles governing the Algerian society, introduced pluralism and established the separation of powers (executive, legislative and judicial).

It has established Institutions based on the participation of citizens in the governance, protects the principle of people’s free choice and gives legitimacy to exercise of the powers.

The President of the Republic is elected by direct, secret and universal suffrage for 5 years term, which can be renewable once.

President of the Republic appoints members of the Government after consultation with the Prime Minister, who coordinates the latter’s action.

The Algerian Parliament is bicameral. Its two chambers are the People’s National Assembly, which is elected in direct universal suffrage, and the Council of the Nation, where 2/3 of members are elected indirectly and 1/3 is designated by the President of the Republic from among eminent national individuals and authorities in the scientific, cultural, professional, economic and social fields.

The Constitution states that Islam is the religion of the state and Arabic is the national and official language. Tamazight is also a national and official language.

It outlaws all forms of discrimination and enshrines the inviolability of freedom of conscience and opinion.

Other rights, such as the right to health, the right to free education, the right to work, the right to belong to a trade union and the right to strike, are also guaranteed.
