What To Expect
La Grande Poste d'Alger
After meeting your guide at the great poste office, you will start from there to see A stunning neo-Moorish building from the French colonial era, completed in 1910. It’s one of the most famous landmarks in Algiers, known for its white façade, arches, and impressive domes. Today, it’s no longer a post office but a symbol of the city’s colonial architecture and cultural identity.
You'll visit Emir Abdelkader Square, one of the most symbolic places in downtown Algiers. Here, you'll see the impressive statue of Emir Abdelkader, the national hero who led the resistance against French colonization in the 19th century. Look up at the statue on horseback – it's not just a monument, it's a reminder of Algeria’s fight for dignity and independence. Surrounding the square, you'll notice French-style architecture, grand administrative buildings, and wide boulevards that reflect Algiers' colonial past.
