Wildlife of Chréa National Park

The Chréa National Park is one of Algeria's smaller conservation areas, but it is nonetheless home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Its ancient Atlas cedar forests are home to a population of Barbary Macaques, which are listed as endangered by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature), and the park is home to eight species of bats which, while often overlooked because of their nocturnal habits, play an important role in the ecology of the region as they keep insect populations in check.

A Brief History of Guelma

The land upon which the Algerian city of Guelma now stands was once a Roman city in Numidia known as Calama. It is thought to have been established in 198 CE by the Phoenicians, at which time it was known as Malaca, and when the area was conquered by the Romans, they renamed the settlement Calama. As part of the Roman Empire, Calama became an important urban center, later being given the lofty status of 'colonia'. Under the leadership of Septimius Severus, Calama developed into one of the most prosperous cities in the Roman Empire, boasting thermal baths and a magnificent theater, the remnants of which remain landmarks in Guelma today.

Algeria’s Wildlife: Algerian Hedgehogs

Measuring between 20 and 25 cm in length, the North African hedgehog (Atelerix algirus) is found in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Malta, France and Spain. As this cute little hedgehog is native to North Africa, it is generally agreed that it was introduced into France, Spain, the Balearic Islands and Malta by humans. Also known as the Algerian hedgehog, the North African hedgehog is one of four species in the Atelerix genus, the others being the four-toed hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris); the Southern African hedgehog (Atelerix frontalis); and the Somali hedgehog (Atelerix sclateri).

ISA Welcomes Algeria as Member Nation

With more than 1,100 miles of spectacular coastline washed by the Mediterranean Sea, Algeria offers plenty of territory for surfers to explore. Currently, surfing is still in its infancy in Algeria, with most of the organized activity taking place in the seaside town of Annaba where the Djazair Surf Club is located, but that may very well change now that Algeria has been listed as the 85th Member Nation of the International Surfing Association (ISA). Algeria joins twelve other ISA member nations in Africa, a number that may increase as the ISA, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, continues to search out exciting surfing destinations.

A Brief History of the Kingdom of Tlemcen

Located in northwestern Algeria, the city of Tlemcen is the administrative capital of the Tlemcen province, a region known for its lush vineyards and olive plantations. The city has thriving carpet, textile and leather industries and its rich culture reflects elements of Islamic, Arabic, Berber and Andalucían influences.

Enjoy the ‘Queen of all Dates’ in Algeria

Cultivated for its deliciously sweet and nutritious fruit, the date palm is a familiar sight in Algeria, with desert oasis towns generally featuring large palm groves. There are many different varieties of dates, but the most prized of them all is the Deglet Nour, referred to as the 'Queen of all dates', which originated in Algeria. The name itself means 'date of light' or 'translucent', which well describes the light golden color of the fruit. The Deglet Nour date is one of Algeria's top export products, and the municipality of Tolga, in the Biskra Province of Algeria, is home to more than half a million date palm trees, producing these high quality fruits.
