Algeria: Roufi

This is my first postcard from Algeria! Balcons of Roufi or Rhoufi or Ghoufi , is a tourist spot 1hr south of Timgad, located between Batna and Biskra. This canyon bears testament to ancient Berber dwellings hewn into the middle of the canyon face.The architecture is typical Berber. The materials used are stones joined with a mortar, tree trunks and date palms.


I have also received this wonderful mini sheet Carpets with national motives - Joint issue with Serbia, issued on 07.10.2014.


Here you can see Serbian version of this joint issue.
