Algeria is Africa's largest country, with a Mediterranean coastline stretching 1,200 km from the Moroccan to Tunisian borders. Ancient Phoenician, Roman, and Ottoman settlements dot the coast—UNESCO sites at Tipaza and Djémila are among Africa's finest Roman ruins. Oran is the birthplace of raï music, while Algiers (El-Djazaïr) combines Ottoman kasbahs with French colonial architecture. The beaches see few international tourists, offering authentic Mediterranean character at accessible prices.
