Quick Facts About Algeria
Discover Algeria
Algeria is the largest country in Africa. A long coastline faces the Mediterranean Sea, and white buildings climb the hills of Algiers, the capital. Beyond the coast, much of the land is the vast Sahara Desert, home to plants and animals adapted to the heat.
Algerian culture blends Arab, Berber, and Mediterranean traditions, and you can hear that mix in the music, food, and art. Friends greet each other with "Salam alikoum." The currency is the Algerian dinar.
