- Rugged limestone gorges — narrow canyons carved into pale rock, dramatic cliff faces and ledges that make for great scrambling, photos, and quiet pockets away from the crowds.
- Cedar and holm-oak forests — shady, aromatic woodlands that feel ancient; great for cool walks, birdwatching and spotting tiny mammals between the trunks.
- Panoramic ridge trails — a handful of ridgelines give long, rewarding hikes with sweeping views down into valleys and, on a clear day, farther toward the coast or distant peaks.
- Waterfalls, springs and seasonal pools — small cascades and clear pools appear after rains; perfect for a rest stop and to hear the park’s quieter wildlife.
- Caves and karst formations — pockets, small caverns and interesting rock shapes carved by water over millennia; fun to explore carefully

- Birdlife and raptors — expect a lively mix of woodland and cliff-loving birds; look for hawks and other raptors riding the thermals above the gorges.
- Traditional Kabyle villages and terraced fields — tiny stone villages at the park’s edges give you a cultural slice of local life, plus good access points for shorter hikes.
- Spring wildflowers and endemic plants — come in spring for carpets of wildflowers and scented maquis, including species you won’t see on lowland roadsides.
