Overview
Begin your day by meeting your guide at the city's main square, Place 1er Novembre, near the 2 lions and explore the French era city.
Next, travel back in time as you walk through the old Arab district of Sidi el Houari and pass by Ottoman and Spanish traces. Then, head to the summit of the Murdjajou mountain to see the biggest and most notable fort of the city, Santa Cruz, with a breathtaking view of the entire city and coastline.
Also on the summit of the mountain, learn about the beautiful story and symbolism of the Santa Cruz chapel. Then, visit La Corrida, a witness of the Spanish presence and influence in the city.
Discover how French architects can take Arab heritage and religious symbolism to make an architectural gem at Oran's train station. Admire the Sacred Heart ex-Cathedral from outside, then walk inside this beautiful Romano-Byzantin cathedral, which was once the main one in city.
Take a walk and admire the chic Soummam boulevard with Hausmannien buildings. Then, dive into local culture and experience local food, clothing, and souvenir shops at La Bastille market and the city center.
