Time now, current time in the world

Algeria remains a mysterious country that few people get to. We tell you why you shouldn't ignore it and what to do there. Here you can:

 

 

On the African map, Algeria is located in the north between Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. Almost 80% of its territory is occupied by the Sahara Desert, and the Mediterranean Sea washes the shores of the northern part of the country. The Atlas mountain range also passes through the north of Algeria.

 

The capital of Algeria, Algiers, is the largest and most populous city and the most convenient place to start your journey. It is considered the economic and cultural center of the country, where African, European, and Arabic cultures intertwine. There are plenty of architectural attractions here (you can spend 3-4 hours alone in the ancient Kasbah fortress), and in the city's Botanical Garden, you feel like you're in a real jungle, only with comfortable paths. It's not for nothing that the first Tarzan film was filmed here in 1932.

 

After walking around Algeria to your heart's content, it's worth getting to know other cities. Here are a few locations from the must-visit list for a trip around the country:

 

Oran is a city on the Mediterranean coast and is considered one of the country's main ports. Here, national flavor is intricately mixed with European architecture, a legacy of French colonization.

Bejaia is another Algerian port city. It is not for nothing that it is called the best resort in the country: stunning sea views give way to dense forests and mountain landscapes, and narrow streets captivate with their atmosphere.

 

Constantine is the "city of seven bridges, " a paradise for those not afraid of heights, and an ideal place for cool photos. The city is located on a mountain plateau and is cut into two parts by a deep gorge. The ancient part of Constantine is connected with modern quarters by picturesque bridges at 125 meters, so a walk here will be remembered for a long time.
 

Annaba is famous for its diverse landscapes and sandy beaches on the Mediterranean coast.
