Oran

Home to Algeria's second-largest city, with Mediterranean port-town atmosphere, Fort Santa Cruz and raï music leaving a lasting impression.

Oran Province lies on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Algeria. Its capital, Oran, is the country's second-largest city and a major port, blending Arab, Spanish and French colonial-era urban character. Fort Santa Cruz, at the top of the hill, overlooks the whole bay. The old town, colonial-era buildings and seafront boulevard are worth a stroll, and the city is also the birthplace of raï music. Several beaches lie nearby. Spring, summer and autumn are all good times to visit. The gateway is Oran Ahmed Ben Bella International Airport.
