Learn more about hotels in Algiers

Algiers, the heart of Algeria, boasts a population of around 4.5 million and is strategically positioned on the west side of the Bay of Algiers. The city's unique name was inspired by the four islands located off the coast in 1525, giving birth to the Arabic name al-Jazāʾir, "The Islands." Founded in 944 on the ruins of the Phoenician city of Icosium, Algiers grew in prominence until Buluggin ibn Ziri established the Berber Zirid dynasty in 950.

The rich history of Algiers encompasses its time under the Kingdom of Tlemcen, the French invasion in 1830, and World War II, when the city served as a critical entrance for the Allies during Operation Torch. Following a turbulent struggle for independence during the Algerian War (1954–1962), Algeria achieved its liberty, with Algiers retaining its position as the capital. The city's Mediterranean climate invites year-round exploration and guarantees an unforgettable experience for every traveller.
