About Alger Ferries |
You can sail to Alger Ferries port from the French city of Marseille, Sete and the Spanish port of Almería.
From Marseille and Sete, the French company SNCM operates services to Algiers, Bejaia, Oran and Skikda. Although schedules vary between seasons, there is at least one weekly departure for Algiers.
Every week, there is also a service to either Bejaia or Skikda. The journey to Oran is less frequent. All ships mainly sail from Marseille late in the morning at arrive in Algeria the next morning.
Alger Ferries port is the most important of West Africa.
Alger Ferries port has been a port since Roman times and many impressive ruins can still be seen in Alger, such as those at Djemila, Timgad and especially Tipasa, which are all in good condition because of the dry desert climate.
Algiers was commercialized by the French in the mid-19th century and much of the fabric of the city dates from this time. However, it still has a Maghreb feel to it, with many zig-zag alleyways, mosques, a casbah, medersas (study houses) and the beautiful Turkish houses and palaces much admired by Le Corbusier. The Bardo Ethnographic and Local Art Museum and the National Museum of Fine Arts are amongst the finest museums in North Africa.
Alger Ferries map is currently not available.
Within easy reach of Algiers along the coast lie some fine resorts. Zeralda is a beach resort with a holiday village and a replica nomad village. Tipasa has exceptional Roman, Punic and Christian ruins, and a Numidian mausoleum. The Chiffa Gorges and Kabylia in the mountains provide more rural scenery. Fig and olive groves in summer become ski resorts in the winter. To the east of Algiers, the Turquoise Coast offers rocky coves and long beaches within easy reach of the city, equipped with sports, cruise and watersports facilities. The Sidi Fredj peninsula has a marina, an open-air theater and complete amenities, including sporting facilities.
