| Minimalist of color at M'zab Valley |
The M'Zab Valley is a region of the Northern Sahara that holds five traditional fortified villages.
Like most of the Algeria tourists’ spots, M'zab was interestingly favored by the tranquility prevailing in the region known for its natural, architectural, and cultural heritage classified by UNESCO as world heritage. It is one of the most beautiful, interesting, and rewarding place to visit in Algeria.

The traditional human habitat in the valley during the 10th century has been preserved intact. M'Zab Valley is a very simple place, yet, so functional and perfectly adapted to the environment.
The architecture of M’Zab was designed for community living, while respecting the structure of the family. It is a source of inspiration for today’s urban planners.
M'zab is famous for its architecture which is dominated by simple structures, curving walls and no ornamentation. Streets are narrow, and all of the towns are situated with one, very visible mosque in its centre, situated on a rocky knoll. You will notice the minimalist color choices which are limited to white, light brown and blue.
People of M'zab dress in equally simple garments, even today.
