On the road to Sidi Touati, Gouraya National Park Museum offers an introduction to the wildlife and plants of the hills above Béjaïa. It is a small natural history space, distinct from the archaeological museum at Bordj Moussa and the park’s historic monuments.
Exploring biodiversity
The Petit Futé guide describes a single room containing a herbarium and displays of insects, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds and mammals. Preserved specimens are arranged in display cases, with the Barbary macaque among the animals represented. The museum provides a useful basis for recognising the main groups of living organisms found in the park, without relying on encounters with wildlife during a walk.
A complement to exploring the park
Brochures and maps accompany the displays. The museum can therefore serve as a starting point before exploring Gouraya’s landscapes, rather than as a lengthy visit in its own right. The entry consulted provides neither a detailed scientific programme nor a fixed opening schedule: enquire locally about visiting the museum and, separately, about access conditions for the park’s trails.
