Annaba Travel Guide

 eternel2002 Says:  This is one of important church in all Algeria and an icon of the city on Annaba, it's shown from almost all the city because it is built on a hill, it's well maintained and protected and this shows that it's not forbiden for this christian monument to be an icon of a muslim... 

 eternel2002 Says:  There is a lot of things to see and to do in Annaba, you can just walk in its streets and see its old building date from the colonial period, relax and take a cafe in 'Cours' square, take a walk on the corniche, visit and shop in its local colorful markets, or go to the... 

 JLBG Says:  Higher along the Cours de la R?volution, this other building is more difficult to look at as its basement is hidden by the trees that line the Boulevard. Its top is a terrace and the balustrade of the terrace is adorned by amphorae, painted in white. 

 JLBG Says:  Another building stands a hundred meters away, also in front of the harbor. It was obviously built in the same period. It is much larger but more sober and has very little décor. I have not found any information about the history of these building but I keep searching. I... 

 JLBG Says:  Restaurant of Hotel Seybouse stands at the 13th level of the hotel. The food is good, mildly local, not too much international but I would not advise it for a gastronomical meal. They serve alcohol. These grilled mullets were delicious. 

 JLBG Says:  The airport has been given the name of President Mohamed Boudiaf that was assassinated in Annaba. Annaba airport is connected by regular flights with most airports inside Algeria (four times a day with Algiers). It has regular flights with Paris, Lyon, Marseille and... 

 JLBG Says:  The first photo does not represent a mosque but the clock tower of the train station. That makes sense : you have better to know the time to catch your train! There are regular connections with Algiers (10h), Oran and other places 

 JLBG Says:  Annaba can be easily reached by road either from Algiers (west to Annaba), from Tunis (East to Annaba) and from Constantine (South). The main roads are in good condition but the traffic is very heavy and you cannot drive fast. 

 JLBG Says:  The authorities, both at a national and at a local level make a big effort to keep the country tidy but the job is difficult, mainly because of plastic bags. People buy abroad a press, one kilo of granulated plastic, make their own plastic bags that they sell on the markets... 

 JLBG Says:  Annaba has several plants very close to the city. This photo was taken from the 11th level of Seybouse Hotel in the early morning. The plant in the middle should be, if I have well understood our friend, the power station for the harbor. On the right and in the background, a... 

 JLBG Says:  I collect photos of "Warning, School" road signs in every country. Of course, that is especially interesting when these signs are "home made" and of different styles. This is the case in Algeria but on our recent travel, we were not on our own and this is the only one I... 

 JLBG Says:  From our hotel room, we could see the booth of an open air market on a small square (first photo). The second photo is a close up that shows that it looks busy. We had to take a closer look. Once we reached the market, we saw that they sold shoes and clothes (third photo),... 

 JLBG Says:  The first photo shows the arcade with the shops. As it was Thursday afternoon (equivalent of our Saturday), it was very busy.The shops were mainly but not only ladies wear. The second and the third photo shows that the dresses are very colorful and of various styles.The last...
