Pilgrimage to Algeria

This vast and captivating country was once the heartland of early Christianity, home to some of the most formidable minds the faith has ever produced. It was here, in the ancient city of Thagaste — modern-day Souk Ahras — that Augustine of Hippo was born in 354 AD. It was here that he wrestled with questions of grace, sin, and redemption that still shape Christian thought today. To walk where Augustine walked, to visit the sites of Hippo Regius (present-day Annaba), where he served as bishop for over thirty years, is to encounter the very roots of Western Christianity. Beyond Augustine, Algeria offers breathtaking Roman ruins at Timgad and Djémila, a landscape of dramatic beauty, and warm, generous hospitality. Whether you are a seasoned pilgrim or travelling with us for the first time, we invite you to explore this extraordinary new destination!

Few destinations carry the spiritual and civilisational weight of Algeria. This is a land where the roots of Christian thought run deep into red earth and Roman stone

Organising a Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage is our speciality and in 2023 we celebrated our 40th year in business – so we must be doing something right! We work with all denominations and are happy to tailor every pilgrimage to the needs of each particular church. For instance, some parties would plan one or two Eucharists during their pilgrimage but others will choose a daily celebration. In the Holy Land, your focus may be the Galilean ministry or a re-creation of Holy Week in Jerusalem. You tell us what your particular interest is and we will recommend an itinerary
