Oran and its green spaces

Are you a nature lover and a hiker? Nicknamed "the radiant one", the city of Oran has various parks and gardens that are only waiting for a visit. With its six hectares of promenade, the Sidi M'hamed esplanade offers a breathtaking view of the sea. This place is ideal for relaxing alone or with the family. Lovers of green tourism will not fail to stroll in the heart of the Ibn Badis garden, a site classified as a historic monument in 1952. This green space lists plant species such as aloe, ficus and palm trees. In summer, the alleys of the Mediterranean Garden invite you to stroll around with hand-grilled meat skewers. Treat yourself to a change of scenery by relaxing on the lawns of the park.

The Habibas Islands: a must-see destination

Before leaving the port of Oran, be sure to discover the postcard panorama that characterizes the western part of the city. This area is one of the best drop-off points for fishermen and scuba divers. The Habibas Islands are also worth a visit. They are home to different animal and plant species. It is possible to sleep on site if you are tempted by the nights under the stars. The starting points to get there are the port of Bouzedjar, the beach of Cap Blanc and the beach of Madagh.
