🏰 Santa Cruz Fort, Oran's historical jewel
Erected by the Spanish between 1577 and 1604 on the heights of Mount Murdjajo, Santa Cruz Fort has experienced successive sieges, reconstructions, and occupations before becoming today one of Algeria's most emblematic monuments. From its ramparts 400 meters high, the view encompasses the entire Bay of Oran, the port of Mers El-Kébir, and the city up to the Sebkha salt lake. A must-see that your guide will tell you all about its history.

💡 Karim's Tip
The displayed program is an excellent starting point, but clearly tell your guide what interests you most: history, raï music, gastronomy, market shopping... They will adapt the day accordingly. For groups or large families, add a private driver — you will save precious time between each stop and fully enjoy your guide's explanations without worrying about traffic. Bessahtek.
