The experience

The tour starts at the Kasbah, the medieval citadel built in the 12th century during the Almohades period. You'll see the Spanish fort, a mosque with Berber architecture, and other relics that trace the town's history. From there, the guide drives you to Mount Yemma Gouraya and leads the climb up to Monkey Peak. At the summit, the city of Bejaia spreads out on one side and the Mediterranean opens on the other. The peak is also home to endangered macaque monkeys, which you may spot during the climb.

After descending, you stop at a local restaurant where you can order fish and regional dishes. The guide speaks English, French, or Arabic depending on your preference. Hotel pickup is included, so you don't arrange your own transport to the starting point. All entrance fees are covered by the tour price.
