The Casbah of Algiers is a UNESCO medina of winding alleys, whitewashed Ottoman-era houses, ornate doorways, minarets and occasional sea vistas — rich in texture, geometry and human life. Best shot at golden hour or early morning for soft side-light and fewer crowds. Expect steep, uneven steps and limited street parking; dress modestly and be discreet with portraits. Some monuments require permission or small fees; explore terraces for panoramic views over the bay.
