Explore the historic old town in Oran, where ancient Roman baths have been discovered underneath the neighborhood’s modern buildings. The district is named for the 15th century Algerian imam, Sidi El Houari, who became the patron saint of the city. His tomb, a pilgrimage site, is located near the historic Sidi El Houari Mosque.

Relax on the picturesque beaches of Aïn El Turk, less than an hour’s drive away.

Stroll through the Fort Santa Cruz, a Spanish fort built between 1577 and 1604. Located on Mount Murdjadjo, the Fort is a striking presence on Oran’s skyline. A hike or drive to the top provides breathtaking views of the harbor and sea.
