Any Travels

Algeria is the largest of the three countries (including Morocco and Tunisia) which form the region of western North Africa known traditionally as Al Maghrib ("the West"). It is also the second largest country in Africa and the tenth largest country in the world in terms of land area, equal in size to Western Europe.

Algeria is bordered with: Morocco, Mali, Niger, Libya, Tunisia.
The name Algeria derives from the Arabic Jaza'ir which is the plural for the word meaning "island" or "peninsula". The name Jaza'ir comes from the ancient regional descriptive, Barr al Jaza'ir (Lands of the Islands), indicating the three countries of the Magreb region.

The total area of Algeria is 2,381,741sq km, sharing its western border with Morocco, its southern border with Niger, Mali and Mauritania and its eastern border with Libya and Tunisia. Its 1,200km of northern coastline runs along the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the start of the violence, Algeria is not much of a tourist destination. Very few travels still head south over the big routes through the Sahara. These routes were always the main travel attraction, although Algeria has a lot more to offer. Some of the finest Roman ruins in the world, old Arabic cities, good beaches. If things clear up a bit, you should definitely consider going there. A stay in the country will make it easy to understand why the French wanted to stay there so desperately.

Places of Interest:

Oran
Oran is the most important city of the west of Algeria. Oran's major claim to fame is the fact that it is the home of Rai music. Almost all great singers (Khaled, Cheb Mami, Faudel) are from Oran. The town was founded by Andalusian seamen in AD937 and flourished under Zianid rule, developing strong trading ties with Spain, which eventually led to Spanish occupation from 1509 to 1708 when Oran was captured by Ottoman forces. The Spanish recaptured the city two years later but withdrew after an earthquake destroyed most of the city in 1790.

Nowadays Oran is a very busy port and city. There are a lot of things to do and see in town. The city centre coastline (front de mer) is the ideal place to hang out with friends, drink mint tea and have an ice cream.

Algiers
Algiers is quite an attractive city - but also one that is pretty dangerous. The old town, known as the Casbah, is a maze of small alleys and whitewashed houses, unfortunately it's also one of the least safe areas for tourists to come. There are quite a few nice boulevards dating back from the days of the French, who come in Algiers in 1830 and stayed for 130 years.

For a great view of the city and its bay drive up to the Couvent d’Afrique. The lookout is high on a hill and the view from there is exceptional.

Daytrips from Algiers include Chrea (where you might be able to ski), Chiffa Gorge the towns of Tipasa, Djemila and Timgad and the ruins at Tenes and Cherchell.

Tamanrasset
Tamanrasset is one of the best places to go in Algeria. It is located in the deep south of the country. It offers some of the best desert scenery in the world as well as ancient rock carvings. The atmosphere is really great too. It has a sort of end of the world feeling.
