Reviews
We just returned from an incredible week in Bou Saada, the entry point to the desert. I reached out to the Riwaya Travel and Merwan team to arrange a horse riding excursion for us between Algiers and the nearest town to the Bou Saada desert. I truly appreciated exploring the culture of Ouled Nail, alongside enjoying excellent cuisine and stunning scenery, all just a three-hour drive from Algiers. The hotels selected, complete with swimming pools, were fantastic, and my kids had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this experience and will definitely return.
I spent three days in Bou Saida with Riwaya Travel, an agency my sister had previously used, and our guide, Zinou. The city is stunning, rich in history and remarkable figures like Étienne Dinet. However, be prepared for the heat; it's quite intense. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience.
We spent five days exploring Algiers, Dellys, and Bousaada, and Riwaya fulfilled all our desires for experiences, tastings, and discoveries. From the Casbah to the desert, including an unforgettable cooking workshop, it was amazing. We are especially grateful to Zinou and all the guides, and a special thanks to Merwan for resolving our visa issue, which made this trip a reality. We may return.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Riwaya agency for arranging our visit to Boussaada in such a remarkable manner. A special thanks goes to Zinou, our guide, whose knowledge and friendliness greatly enhanced our experience of this unique location. His insights allowed me to truly appreciate the beauty and history of Boussaada. I highly recommend this agency for exploring this wonderful oasis.
This agency is outstanding, providing excellent service. For those seeking professionalism, you will be truly impressed. A special mention to Zinou for the perfect and well-coordinated organization. Great job!
Algiers truly captivated me. There’s a unique charm to this city. Strolling through the Casbah, exploring the narrow alleys, and finally enjoying the view over the sea was truly stunning. I also found the traditional food to be incredibly delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, particularly with Riwaya Travel, a well-organized and professional agency.
