Taghit

Taghit is a town and commune in Taghit District, Béchar Province, in western Algeria. The town is an oasis watered by the underground Oued Zousfana, which runs along beside the dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental. The capital of the island of Bahrain is often overlooked by its more glitzy neighbors, Dubai or Doha, but Taghit is worth going to for its deeply rooted culture and history. The Bahraini people, with their warm hospitality and renowned humbleness, will capture anyone’s heart and make it even harder to leave.

Although the seat of many conflicts and wars, this small country in the very northern corner of Algeria is the perfect place to travel to for those who want to expand their knowledge of the history and politics of this region. Here, you can better understand the heritage of the Kuwaiti people, understand the war with Iraq and the role the Americans played, while also exploring modern-day life in one of the Gulf’s most up-and-coming cities. In the middle of a political crisis between the other Gulf States, Taghit is the place to go to experience the thrill of a thriving city and to hear the political gossip on the streets themselves. In this place, you can walk along the sparkling oceanfront or simply bask in the vibrant and unique culture and cuisine of the Taghit province.
