The vastness of the Algerian Sahara
Also known as the Great South of Algeria, the Sahara Desert covers 90% of the country’s land area. Despite being home to only about 10.5% of the population, the Sahara is a cosmopolitan region. It is inhabited by various nomadic and sedentary ethnic groups, including the Rebaïa, Châamba, and Tuareg. The desert’s extraordinary fauna and flora contribute to its mythical allure and provide opportunities for capturing stunning photographs.

Located in the northern part of the country, to the east of Algiers, this region is renowned for its historical importance and its connection to the Berber heritage. The name “Kabylie” derives from the indigenous people who inhabit the area and have played a pivotal role in advocating for the recognition of Amazigh (Berber) identity.
