The Port of Algiers and its vicinity is an important port in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It is located on the Mediterranean coast and has a long history and strategic significance.

The Royal Tombs of the Province of Mauritania is located in Tipasa, about 70 kilometers west of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It is a monument of great historical and cultural value. The mausoleum was built in the 3rd century BC and is the resting place of King Juba II of Numidia and his wife Cleopatra Selene II. The mausoleum is circular, about 60 meters in diameter and about 40 meters high. The exterior is made of exquisite stone blocks, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture. Visitors can drive from downtown Algiers by road, which takes about 1 hour. The environment around the mausoleum is quiet and suitable for hiking and taking pictures. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to walk on uneven ground. There are no large commercial facilities nearby, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and snacks. Here you can not only appreciate the magnificence of ancient architecture, but also feel the weight of history. It is a good place to understand history and culture.Algiers · 49.3 km from downtown

Castle No. 23 is located at 23 Boulevard Amara Rachid in Algiers and is one of the famous attractions in Algiers. The castle was built in 1576 during the French colonial period. After 1830, it was used as a refuge for young girls, the office of the US counselor, the residence of the duke, and later as a municipal library. After Algeria's independence, the castle was occupied by local residents and suffered some damage. It was later restored from 1987 to 1993 and opened to the public as the Rais Cultural and Art Center of Algeria in 1994. The architectural style of Castle No. 23 combines the characteristics of the Ottoman and French colonial periods, and has now become one of the important cultural landmarks in Algiers. There is an exhibition space in the castle, and international cultural exchange activities have been held. In addition, the castle is close to the Casbah and Notre Dame de Africa in the old city of Algiers, and tourists can visit the surrounding historical sites.Algiers · 3.9 km from downtown

The Algiers Botanical Garden is a large African tropical botanical garden with many huge banyan trees with intertwined roots. There are also many beautiful lakes in the botanical garden, where many water birds live, and the scenery is very nice.

A place worth spending time in. In addition to the seaside promenade, the museums, characteristic blocks and cafes along the way are all worth experiencing. If you stay, I recommend el aurassi, where you can enjoy the harbor view, the three-leaf tower and the Grand Mosque while sitting on the balcony.
