Today we arrived in our third country Algeria. Because of the quick arrival, we visited Algiers today. Algiers is the capital and very attractive for tourists. But is has not always been so save. In the past, if you wanted to visit Algiers by boat, you had to make sure the pirates didn't get you. Once arrived in the capital, you were not allowed to eat in front of the people there, because of their religion.
Knowing that, I didn't felt so save in Algiers. But while we were walking through the capital, my fear dissapeared. I've seen beautiful things, like the Mosque of Djemaa Djedid, the Bay of Algiers and the mountains.
Algeria is divided in two different parts, the Sahara and the Maghreb. The Maghreb is formed by the countries Algeria, Lybia, Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia. It is a sort of economic union.
I hope we will see a lot of beautiful things too tomorrow on our trip through Algeria. I'll post some picture of Algiers, so you can see how beautiful it is here.
Greetings, Julie
Here you can see a picture of the Mosque and a picture of the Bay of Algiers.
