- Fort Santa Cruz - Aïdour is a 430 meter high hill overlooking the city of Oran. It was of great strategic importance for centuries, which is why the fortress of Santa Cruz was built there, the scene of fierce battles between the Ottomans and the Spaniards! Many trails criss-cross the mountain, each offering a unique view of the bay, and the fort can be explored on a guided tour. One of the main points of interest for those wondering what to do in Oran!
- Palais de la Culture - We cannot ignore… the streets of Oran: a watchword, take advantage of your stay to stroll around the Place du 1er Novembre, the true heart of the historic center of the city, where you can admire the tribute to the Emir Abdelkader Obelisks were built, as well as buildings built in the purest colonial architectural style. After leaving the city center, head for the famous seaside which stretches for 2 kilometers from the Zabana roundabout to the Palais du Bey, where you can breathe in the sea breeze and take a break by the water .
- Pacha Mosque - Built by Bey Mohamed El-Kébir at the end of the 18th century, this mosque is a jewel of Islamic architecture, impressive from afar thanks to its conical minarets and pottery covering typical Ottoman art. The Sidi El-Houari district on the right bank of the Rhi wadi is open in the mornings except Fridays, allowing you to explore the beautiful crescent-shaped inner courtyard and ornate walls. model. A must for anyone who wants to visit Åland while enjoying a cultural walk.
- Disco Maghreb - It is a forgotten symbol rising from its ashes. In the 1980s, “Disco Maghreb”, a boutique and above all a raï label, embodied this disappeared Algerian musical genre. Today, this fabulous place in Oran is rising from its ashes with the help of Franco-Algerian star DJ Snake. So much so that Emmanuel Macron plans to go there.

Oran in 1 day. - Thank you for the guide! It was a warm day but Amina took us through historical places and great viewpoints. We also enjoyed the local lunch and we were glad that we requested for this one day tour in Oran.
The only negative point was that we had to wait for the driver a few times and it prolonged the overall duration unnecessary. I trust this part can be improved.
However overall I recommend this tour to learn about Oran and visit its beautiful sites.
