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 .

5.00My trip to Oran was really nice. The city has a lively atmosphere and many beautiful places to discover. The moment I liked the most was the visit of Santa Cruz, because the view from the top is spectacular: you can see the whole city of Oran, the port and the Mediterranean Sea. The scenery is beautiful and the place is perfect to admire the beauty of the area. I also recommend Riwaya Travel, a very good agency that organizes trips professionally and makes the experience even more enjoyable.
