Maps and Orientation of the Country

Algeria is divided into six main regions - Central, North-East, North-West, the Saharan Atlas and the Saharan Algeria areas. Prominent cities include Algiers, Annaba, Batna, Bechar, Constantine, Cherchell, Oran, Sétif, Skikda and Tamanrasset.

In the centre of Algeria's lengthy northerly coastline is the capital city of Algiers, which is known for its multitude of white high-rise buildings overlooking the seafront. The harbourfront is an important point of reference in Algiers and a total of four busy interconnecting roads run parallel to the seafront, changing names along the way.

Those looking for the Medina area of Algiers will find it located between the Rue Ahmed Bouzrina and the Boulevard de la Victoire, while for tourist information and maps, the Rue Didouche Mourad is the place to come.
