Book your plane ticket to Oran

Located about 15 km away from Oran lies a beautiful seaside resort called Aïn El Turk. A perfect place to relax, to enjoy the beach and the spas, or to simply sit at one of the many restaurants and bars in the town.

Oran and its history

Every visitor’s itinerary here should include a walk around the town centre! You will find the stunning Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur, the first cathedral in Algeria. This elegant building today serves as a library. Also don’t forget the Sidi El Houari area where you can admire many historic sites and monuments.

For an escape from the lively town centre, the Santa-Cruz fort dating from the 17th century is well worth a visit. You should don some sturdy shoes to get there, as the fort is perched atop the summit of Mount Murdjadjo. But you will be rewarded with an amazing view over the town and the sea.

Oran like a local

The Jdida medina is the shopping district of Oran. You can find everything you need on this market: souvenirs, clothes and also food. Also don’t forget to sample the local speciality: Karantika, a pie made from chickpea flour.
