Become a host in Annaba

Where travelers stay — Annaba

Annaba, ancient Hippo Regius, is a coastal city in northeastern Algeria with thousands of years of history. Its natural harbor, fine sandy beaches (Saint-Cloud, Toche, Aïn Achir) and mountainous hinterland make it a top seaside and cultural destination. Saint Augustine lived here and wrote his Confessions; the basilica bearing his name still dominates the city from its hill. Annaba blends Roman ruins, colonial heritage and the energy of a large university town. Its sheltered bay, wine-producing hinterland and proximity to El Kala National Park make it an ideal base to explore eastern Algeria.
