Excursion Oran’s cosmopolitan influences tour at Oran

Take a walking tour through Oran and discover its rich heritage, as exemplified by its architecture where the Arab, Spanish, Ottoman and French presence are all prominent in places. Oran's unique appearance is owed much to its turbulent history during the medieval period, which profoundly changed the evolution of its landscape, to such an extent that it presents itself today, unlike other Algerian cities, as a city indelibly marked by its Hispanic past.

Today, Oran can be described as an open-air museum of Western military architecture, alongside buildings with Arab and Ottoman influences as well as modern buildings dating from the French colonial period.

Follow your guide for a stroll to view a selection of the most striking buildings including the Cathedral, La Place d' Armes, Pasha Mosque, Sidi El Houari and the old Arab quarters followed by a drive to Santa Cruz to take in the sweeping aerial views of the Oran.
