Bechar

Overview

Introduction

This former French Foreign Legion outpost is often a stopping point if you're driving to Tindouf or Taghit from the coast. There's not much to see in there except the ruined 12th-century fortified city of al-Qal'a of Beni Hammad with its thick earthen walls. 450 mi/725 km southwest of Algiers.
