Hi, little Paris as we call it, Oran is a coastal city that is located in the north-west of Algeria. This fascinating city is a lively port that boasts a rich history and animated pace of life. Oran s considered one of the most beautiful cities in Algeria and big Maghrib in North Africa. I visited Oran many times and each trip was amazing and enjoyable for me.

The name "Oran" (Wahran in Arabic: وهران‎‎, Wahrān: in Berber: ⵡⴻⵂⵔⴰⵏ)is derived from the Berber word "uharan" that means "two lions".

A legend says that in 900 AD, lions still lived in the area. The last two lions were hunted on a mountain near Oran and are elsewhere referred to as "mountain lions". Oran is famous for having contributed in particular to North Africa’s liveliest musical movement rai.
