Algeria is Mediterranean. From Annaba to Oran, the coast is identity. The sea feeds, the sea calms, the sea connects. Algiers faces north across the water toward Marseille, toward Barcelona, toward Rome, and the history of this coast is the history of everything that crossed that water: Phoenicians, Romans, Andalusians, Ottomans, French, and now Algerians. The Mediterranean is not just a geographical feature, it is a civilization. Today, go to the water. Eat the fish. Smell the salt. The Mediterranean is what makes Algiers Algiers, what makes Oran Oran, what makes Annaba Annaba. The Sahara is the soul, but the sea is the face.
