Algiers
Algiers (El Djazaïr) is Algeria's capital and largest city — a Mediterranean port famous for its UNESCO-listed Ottoman Casbah, white tiered waterfront, French-colonial boulevards, the vast new Great Mosque of Algiers, and grand monuments like Notre-Dame d'Afrique and the Maqam Echahid. It's the country's main gateway and a city best explored on foot, with a guide for the Casbah.

Oran
Oran is Algeria's vibrant second city — a Mediterranean port on the west coast with a strong Spanish and Andalusian imprint, the birthplace of raï music, the Spanish-built Santa Cruz fort above the bay, a lively seafront, and easy access to the Andalusian heritage of Tlemcen and the western beaches.
