The best photos of Djemila aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Severan Temple will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Mountain viewpoints for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
