Where travelers stay — Aïn Témouchent

Aïn Témouchent is a small coastal wilaya in northwestern Algeria, set between Oran and Tlemcen on the Mediterranean. Often overlooked by guides in favor of its better-known neighbors, it nevertheless offers a sublime, uncrowded coastline: Rachgoun Beach (facing the eponymous island), Sassel Beach, Terga Beach, Madagh Beach. The region also has ancient thermal springs (Hammam Bouhdjar, frequented since Roman times) and a rich agricultural heritage (vineyards, citrus, olives).
