Sports and leisure activities Algeria

Activities to do on site

Algeria is a country rich in visits but also in leisure activities to practice on the spot!
Here is a small list of the main pleasures that await you in Algeria

Beaches

You will certainly go to the beach if you go to Algeria in summer! With 1,600 km of coastline, there is really a lot of choice, the beaches are all as beautiful as each other as the program Thalassa devoted to Algeria in 2015 showed very well. And the good news is that the summer is long in this country, you can easily bathe until the end of October. Between the beaches with crystal clear water in the region of Oran or Tipasa and the beautiful creeks of Mostaganem or Jijel, swimming here is pure happiness

For women who want to swim in bikinis, it is however advisable to turn to private beaches of hotels or to go to creeks accompanied by family or friends. This is a good way to avoid prying eyes or inappropriate remarks from people who are more into burkini. The easiest way to find out if your bikini will not pose a problem is to ask the locals where you can go to sunbathe without being bothered

Scuba diving

Algerian seabeds are much better preserved than many Mediterranean seabeds, simply because they have been little exploited and are much less polluted than elsewhere. You can practice scuba diving in good conditions at the hotel complex of the Corne d'Or in Tipasa, but also at Cap Ténès via the Maison du plongeur. Béjaïa and Annaba also offer interesting possibilities. The marine park of Taza also has good diving sites. It is a protected area with crystal clear waters usually frequented by sea turtles and dolphins. Not far from the border with Tunisia and Tabarka, the seabed is also interesting because of its rocky tunnels and the large schools of groupers that frequent these waters

Sailing

To practice sailing and windsurfing, go to Sidi Fredj which is renowned for its good sailing school

Sand skiing

Even more original: sand skiing! To practice in the Sahara of course. Many agencies will offer you this activity in Beni Abbès and Taghit
