Visit to the Algerian Centre for Earthen Built Cultural Heritage in Timimoun

May God bless your times.....

On the first day of the organized exploratory trip for media outlets, the group visited the Algerian Center for Cultural Heritage built from clay, one of the urban landmarks embodying the original clay architecture of the region, featuring clay bricks decorated with diverse Berber-Zenati geometric patterns, carved and embroidered across all its walls, making it a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international visitors.

The center is located in the center of the Red Bay, constructed over six years from 1912 to 1917, and was designated as a historical and scientific landmark by decision dated January 21, 2015.

Contributes to the rehabilitation of earthen architecture by highlighting urban heritage built with clay, in order to ensure the sustainability of these national urban heritage treasures, having previously been one of Algeria's most important hotels in the southern region until its closure in 1996.

The second stop was a handicrafts exhibition organized during the Timimoun Week, attracting visitors and both local and international tourists, drawn by the local festival.

The third stop was a visit to the village of El Oued Boussaid, the first stop of the Sbou Timimoun tour and the beginning of the recitations and blessings during the Noble Prophet's Mawlid.
