About Algiers

Algiers is built on the slopes of the Sahel Hills, along the Bay of Algiers on the Mediterranean Sea coast. The city faces east and north with dazzling white buildings that dominate the harbour and the bay. The city takes its name, which in Arabic means The Islands, from several small islands that formerly existed in the bay, all but one of which have been connected to the shore or obliterated by harbour works.
