☪️🇩🇿 Oran, Algeria The city is located at the end of a bay open to the north and is directly dominated to the west by Mount Aïdour (or Murdjajo), which rises to 580 meters, as well as by the Moulay Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani plateau. The urban area extends on both sides of the Oued Rhi ravine, which is now covered. Founded in 902 by the Andalusians, Oran experienced a succession of Arab-Berber dynasties and became one of the main maritime outlets of Central Maghreb under the Zianides. Occupied by the Spanish in 1509, it was reconquered in 1792 by Bey Mohamed el-Kebir after an earlier interlude (from 1708 to 1730) and became the seat of the Beylik of the West. During French colonization, Oran underwent rapid development, becoming Algeria’s second-largest city. After independence, it remained the economic capital of western Algeria and the country's main financial, commercial, and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had a population of 609,940, while the greater Oran metropolitan area was home to approximately 1,000,000 people. By 2020, official estimates indicated that the urban area had a population of 1,760,685, making Oran both the second-largest city and the second-largest urban area in Algeria. #Algerie #Algiers #Algeria #Algeriatourism #VisitAlgeria #Oran

☪️🇩🇿 Constantine is a city of great importance in Mediterranean history. Formerly known as Cirta, it was the capital of Numidia from 300 BC to 46 BC before coming under Roman rule. It owes its current name to Emperor Constantine I, who renamed it in 313. During the Middle Ages, the city was conquered by the Arabs in the 7th century and subsequently became part of the Aghlabid kingdom, the Fatimid Empire, and later the Zirid, Hammadid, Almohad, and Hafsid dynasties. In the 16th century, Constantine became the capital of the Beylik of Constantine, serving as the seat of beylical power and a vassal of the Regency of Algiers. During the French conquest of Algeria, the city was captured in 1837 after a failed attempt in 1836. During the Algerian War of Independence, it was integrated into Wilaya II (Constantinois) under the FLN, later becoming the seat of its own wilaya upon Algeria's independence. Constantine is known by various nicknames, including the "City of Suspended Bridges," the "City of the Old Rock," the "City of Ulemas," the "City of Eagles," and the "City of Malouf"—Malouf being the local variant of Andalusian classical music. It is considered the capital of eastern Algeria. In 2015, Constantine was designated the Arab Capital of Culture, becoming the second Algerian city to host the event after Algiers in 2007. #Constantine #Algerie #Algiers #Algeria #Algeriatourism #VisitAlgeria
