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.
Oran is considered the second most important city of Algeria after the capital Algiers, due to its commercial, industrial, cultural importance and big population making it the second largest city in Algeria.
The open bay offers an idyllic and tranquil escape from the bustling city streets, and said streets offer an insight into the Spanish and French past of the city. Modern Oran is divided boasts a refreshing waterfront, plus both an old and a new city, each section with its own unique charm and architectural landmarks.in this post I chosen most beautiful places in this city, that you can visit when you come to Oran.
