Visited in early April 2026. I traveled with a friend from Iflissen to attend a book fair in Tuviret (Bouira), and we crossed the mountainous Djurdjura region, first on the Tizi Ouzou side and then on the Bouira side. The landscapes are magnificent, breathtaking! The temperatures dropped as we climbed into the mountains. Snow covered a large part of the mountains and even their base. The road was sometimes narrow due to the heavy snowfall. Dozens of tourists were there to admire the scenery and enjoy the fresh air. Drivers should exercise caution at this time of year!
