Djemila is one of the most interesting roman ruins we have visited. We had a good local guide to show us around. Really lovely scenery. The tour there in the car is also interesting because we drove in the Atlas mountains and saw some of the farming areas.

I spent a wonderful day with Myra heading out to Djemila to see the Roman Ruins. A local guide walked us around the museum and the site. It was a long day from Algiers, but well worth it
Wonderful fun
