Trip to Algeria: Trip to Boussaada at the edge of the desert

 Algeria is a vast country in Africa, the largest by surface area!! Visiting all of Algeria will require a long duration trip or a sequence of many small trips. The desert of Algeria, part of the Sahara desert, is full of amazing places to visit such as Djanet and Tamenrasset to mention few. For this trip, family was the focus and hence I relied on day trips or overnight trips. My brother proposed going to Boussaada on the northern edge of the desert. The road trip was long but interesting… lots of small towns and interesting sights along the way. Here are some pictures from the trip.
