SETIF (QSF)

Sétif, the bustling “capital of the high plateaus,” is a dynamic crossroads in northeastern Algeria where ancient history meets modern commercial energy. The city remains famous for the Ain El Fouara Fountain, an iconic French-colonial landmark, and its world-class Archaeological Museum, which houses the breathtaking “Triumph of Dionysus” mosaic. As the gateway to the nearby UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of Djemila, Sétif offers a vibrant urban experience featuring a modern tramway and the expansive Park Mall. Renowned for its unique Sétifian Chakhchoukha and high-altitude charm, it is an essential hub for exploring Algeria’s rich Roman and Amazigh heritage.
