    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!

    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.
