Oran's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Theatre d'Oran, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Medina Jdida — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
Oran is Algeria's second city and cultural capital, a Mediterranean port where Spanish, Ottoman, and French influences converge in a city of music and literary fame. Walking its grand boulevards and coastal promenade reveals the setting of Albert Camus's The Plague.
