For the intrepid traveller, a trip to Algeria is an adventure in waiting. Its troubled reputation may put off anyone looking for the quiet life, but for those who take the time to explore, Algeria offers culture and adventure in spades.
Here, a beguiling blend of cultures spans a vast chunk of land - taking in everything from whitewashed fishing ports, verdant hillsides and olive groves to the unmatched dramatic landscapes of the Sahara Desert and the Hoggar Mountains.

As the largest country in AFRICA, Algeria’s terrain – from the cities of the north, to the desert of the south – is hugely varied. Many never get past the northern port cities of Algiers, or Oran, and for good reason. Colonised by the Phoenicians and the Romans and covered with fascinating ruined cities, the north is green and fertile, and the imposing capital Algiers (‘the White City’) has a fascinating medina to explore and offers and interesting perspective on modern Algerian life. Tackle the sights and sounds of the UNESCO heritage Casbah, the walled city where neglected crumbling ruins sit adjacent with renovated homes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           HOTEL EL AURASSI
Located on the high plateaus of north-eastern Algeria, the town of Sétif is the capital of the Sétif Province, known to be one of the coldest regions in the country. It is not uncommon for the town to experience snow in the winter months, while summer temperatures can occasionally reach 40 degrees centigrade. 
Oran is Algeria's second largest city, with an internal population of about 1 million inhabitants and a regional population of about 2 million. In the past several years, there has been a large increase in international business and trade.
During wartime, Oran was ruled by the Vichy French government of Marshall Petain until it fell on November 8 1942 to Allied forces. The city became a logistical base and an important headquarters for the allied effort against Germany's Afrika Korps.  HOTEL .Le Restaurant de l'Hôtel Sheraton
Of all ALGERIAN towns and cities, only Tlemcen boasts Moorish buildings to rival those in  MOROCCO or Andalusia. The Romans recognised its strategic and economic importance and built a stronghold.POMARIA here during the reign of Septimus Severus, but nothing remains of the classical town. In the 8th century Idriss I built a new town, which he called AGADIR Tlemcen grew in importance under Almoravid ruler Youssef ben Tachfine, who moved his capital here; for centuries it was one of the centres of power in the Mahgreb. In the first half of the 14th century the Merinid sultan Abou Yacoub besieged the town for so long that his camp, MANSOURAH, became a town in itself. During the colonial period Tlemcen held off the French for more than 10 years and always had a strong anticolonial movement.ALGERIA’s first independence movement was founded by a Tlemceni in 1924. Today, easy-going Tlemcen, known as ‘the town of cherries’, is a pleasure to visit. It also has a vision:ALGERIA ’s largest university campus is currently being built by a Chinese contractor.







The old quarter of narrow streets Souika, each pad has a story to tell or a myth perpetuated remains a hub and a center of trade, despite the tough competition which is currently supplied by other neighborhoods. Lifestyle changes, changing consumer habits and the emergence of new trends have not managed to "expire" Souika who finds the atmosphere of yesteryear during festivals and religious events. On the eve of Eid-el-Fitr, Eid el-Adha, of Ashura, Mawlid, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, the well-known neighborhood becomes the favorite destination of Constantine and refuses to give in to ravages of time
