What To Expect
Fort Santa Cruz
Aïdour is a 430 meter high hill overlooking the city of Oran. It was of great strategic importance for centuries, which is why the fortress of Santa Cruz was built there, the scene of fierce battles between the Ottomans and the Spaniards! Many trails criss-cross the mountain, each offering a unique view of the bay, and the fort can be explored on a guided tour. One of the main points of interest for those wondering what to do in Oran!
Palais de la Culture
We cannot ignore... the streets of Oran: a watchword, take advantage of your stay to stroll around the Place du 1er Novembre, the true heart of the historic center of the city, where you can admire the tribute to the Emir Abdelkader Obelisks were built, as well as buildings built in the purest colonial architectural style. After leaving the city center, head for the famous seaside which stretches for 2 kilometers from the Zabana roundabout to the Palais du Bey, where you can breathe in the sea breeze and take a break by the water .

During our stay in this city, Amina gave us a unique historical, cultural and gastronomic experience, leaving us with an incredible Impression on the life of the city. For all who come to Oran - discover this city with Amina, you will not regret it.

5.00Solo trip and my first stay in Algeria that was successful thanks to my guide Amina from Riwaya Travel. Amina knows her city, her country perfectly. We visited Oran and Mostaganem. Very good explanations, a great guide but beyond that Amina is an extraordinary person, generous, caring. It perfectly represents the kindness of the Algerian people. Another big thank you for an unforgettable stay and I hope to come discover the desert for next time. inch'Allah as they say 🤞🏼

5.00Thank you for the guide! It was a warm day but Amina took us through historical places and great viewpoints. We also enjoyed the local lunch and we were glad that we requested for this one day tour in Oran. The only negative point was that we had to wait for the driver a few times and it prolonged the overall duration unnecessary. I trust this part can be improved. However overall I recommend this tour to learn about Oran and visit its beautiful sites.
I got the chance to visit old monuments like arene doran and the beautiful qsar el bay
