Additional Information

Djémila the Beautiful one, Latin: Cuicul or Curculum, formerly Cuicul, is a small mountain village in Algeria, near the northern coast east of Algiers, where some of the best preserved Berbero-Roman ruins in North Africa are found. It is situated in the region bordering the Constantinois and Petite Kabylie (Basse Kabylie). In 1982, Djémila became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique adaptation of Roman architecture to a mountain environment. Significant buildings in ancient Cuicul include a theatre, two fora, temples, basilicas, arches, streets, and houses. The exceptionally well preserved ruins surround the forum of the Harsh, a large paved square with an entry marked by a majestic arch.

THE BEST tour company & travel experience hands down! - I have travelled all over the world, & hands down this was THE BEST experience I have ever had with a tour company!!! Omar was absolutely fabulous!!! With his wicked sense of humour, vast knowledge of his home country, & having travelled a lot globally himself, the conversations were as much the highlight of the trip as were the destinations! This trip to Algeria was on my bucket list for twenty years, so to finally get there & have a perfectly tailored experience for me (a mad history junkie) & be entertained along the way, made the whole experience better than I could have wished for. I highly recommend OMAR & FANCY YELLOW TRAVEL, if you want an immersive, personal, experience. The other personnel that offered their guidance on the various places we visited, were also very knowledgable & personable, & genuinely seemed invested in offering the best perspective of their culture, & best experiences to highlight their country - which everyone in general, was very proud to share & SO welcoming. Everything was so well organised from months before I even applied for the visa, & Omar went above & beyond to assist with this, being cordial, friendly, & exhaustive responding to all my auestions. The care & attention that he applied during our emailing back & forth, was definitely a reflection of the care & attention he applied to my holiday. At all times I felt very well cared for & easily trusted I was in good hands. For the entire trip, right from the get go, I felt as though Omar was a mate I was catching up with after many years apart, & I was welcomed as such. He is someone who I could chat with, dine with, & debate with freely on many topics. This beautiful soul is a big bear of a man, who is the most gentle, kind, reassuring, & caring human who I am know very privileged to call my friend. I would not hesitate to recommend Fancy Yellow Travel to anyone wanting a genuinely excellent experience.

A taste of Algeria - We had a customised 8 day private tour that was well organised by Fancy Yellow that went from Algiers to Tipaza, Cherchell, Timgad, Djemila, Constantine, Ghardaia & Mansoura desert. It was excellent with the few hitches down to delayed flights & police escorts. The guides at each place were knowledgeable and friendly and the drivers punctual and efficient. The logistics were tricky but Fancy Yellow made it easy and accomodating so we had a great holiday with no stress. The Roman ruins can be seen on my Insta ghizela_rowe

Professional, memorable, enjoyable! - I had the pleasure of visiting Algeria, courtesy of Fancyellow, back in December 2021. From the outset Omar was diligent, professional and very attentive. Initially the visa process seemed over-convoluted, but Omar made it seamless and very workable which I was incredibly grateful for. I was even lucky enough to meet Omar while I was in Algiers and we had some interesting travel stories to share. I opted for the day trip to Djemila and was fortunate enough to spend time with Billal and Haroun. Billal possessed incredible knowledge of Djemila and we had a great time transcribing Latin phrases and Roman numerals (we even practiced some Scottish slang!). It was quite incredible to see someone hold such intricate knowledge of their country's history, and the fact that he tries to accommodate guests by learning their language. If you intend on visiting Algeria I unequivocally and wholeheartedly recommend Fancyellow in every capacity. They are by far the best travel agency I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I'm confident that I'll visit again in the not-so-distant future, and will definitely be making full use of Fancyellow again. Thanks a million guys!
