Djurdjura National Park, Algeria
Taking its name from the Djurdjuran massif that lies within its boundaries, the Djurdjura National Park in the North West Region of Algeria consists of three main sections – eastern, western and central – extending into the districts of Bouira to the south, and Tizi-Ouizou to the north. With its many dense forests, deep gorges and unusual grottoes, the park is widely considered to have some of the most beautiful scenery in Algeria. It is also home to varied flora and fauna, including the endangered Barbary Macaque.
The outstanding physical features of the Djurdjura National Park include the mountain peaks of the Djurdjuran massif of the Grande Kabylie, part of the Tell Atlas Mountains of Algeria. At a height of 2,308 meters, Lalla Khedidja is the highest part of the Djurdjuran massif, and one of Algeria’s highest mountains.
