Oran, Algeria

Why Walk Oran

Oran (Wahran in Arabic) has a personality distinct from Algiers — more cosmopolitan, more musical, and deeply tied to the Mediterranean. The city is the birthplace of rai music, the rebellious genre that emerged from its working-class neighborhoods to conquer the world. The front de mer (seafront) promenade offers sweeping views of the harbor, while the old Spanish fortress of Santa Cruz sits dramatically above the city. The Plateau quarter features French colonial architecture, the grand Theatre d'Oran, and busy pedestrian streets. The old city retains Ottoman-era mosques and Jewish heritage sites. Camus lived here and set The Plague in a thinly disguised version of the city, making it a literary walking destination as well.
