Sidi Fredj
سيدي فرج
A resort peninsula on the western edge of Algiers, with a marina, beaches, and seafood restaurants. It is the top choice for locals who spend weekends by the sea.
Sidi Fredj is a small peninsula stretching into the Mediterranean in Staoueli, about 25 km west of the city center. French forces landed here in 1830. Today it is one of Algiers' main seaside resorts, with a yacht harbor, sandy beaches, hotels, swimming areas, and rows of seafood restaurants. In the summer evenings it is packed with visitors. It makes a good half-day break from sightseeing in the city, for watching the sea and eating grilled fish. The taxi ride takes about 30 to 40 minutes. In the peak season the beaches are crowded, so swim in areas with lifeguards.
