Oran

Key attractions include the Santa Cruz Fort, the Great Mosque, the Place d'Armes, and the vibrant waterfront. Exploring the old town and experiencing the local markets are also highly recommended.

The best time to visit Oran is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Summer can be hot, while winter can be mild but with occasional rain.

Raï is a unique Algerian music genre originating from Oran, characterized by its blend of traditional and modern sounds. You can experience Raï music in various venues throughout the city, especially in the evenings, including live music bars and festivals.
