Annaba
3000 years of history on the shores of the Mediterranean
a millennia-old, layered port city that defies the boundaries of time: from its Phoenician founding to the ancient Roman Hippo Regius, it was successively shaped by the Byzantine, Ottoman, and colonial eras, bearing testament to an exceptional historical richness.
Home to one of Africa’s largest steel complexes in El Hadjar and a diversified economy, it also shines with its stunning coastline and inland natural scenery—from fine sandy beaches and wooded mountains to Mediterranean forests. Annaba offers a harmonious balance between seaside tourism and vibrant cultural life, religious and archaeological heritage, modern urbanity, and economic dynamism. Its southern charm, warmed by a welcoming and passionate population, makes it one of Algeria’s essential destinations.
