Algiers & the Algerian coast
A whitewashed casbah steep enough to leave your legs aching by lunchtime, Roman ruins along the coast that rival anything in Italy with a fraction of the visitors, and a Mediterranean waterfront the rest of North Africa's coastline gets more credit for.
The best time to visit Algiers & the Algerian coast is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (80°F). Local time there is 04:44 (UTC+1).
