Book your plane ticket to Béjaïa
Béjaïa
Cap Carbon, a Mediterranean port city, lies nestled in the Gulf of Béjaïa. In addition to beautiful beaches, the city offers plenty of outdoor patios with views of the mountains, the port and the sea. A lovely destination to just relax. Another attraction in Cap Carbon is Pic de Singes, also known as ‘Barbary Macaque’, a peak that is home to several troops of baboons. So keep a close eye on your food when dining outside or you may find a cheeky baboon making off with your meal.
