Lela Bouna
One of the must sees of Annaba. It is on a hill not too far outside downtown, and it's a dominating sight. Taxis run regularly to and from the church. The church is a marvel, with stunning architecture and ancient Roman ruins right behind it. Saint Augustine's hand is kept inside the church.
Historic mosque built in 1792.
A visit to Annaba is not complete without enjoying its beautiful Mediterranean coastline and one of its many beaches. During the day enjoy relaxing day at one of the beaches and at night head to "La Corniche". Located at the beach "Chappui" it comes alive at night with restaurants, clubs and people enjoying the crisp, cool refreshing air. A great end to any day.
A good time for families with young children.
Largest and newest hotel in town.
Hotel in city center with decent Wi-Fi and basic breakfast included.
By sea
There should be a ferry service from Marseille to Annaba operated by Algérie Ferries, but it is not running as of March 2022, presumably due to COVID-19.
By train
The national railway company SNTF has daily services from Algiers and several other large cities. A daily night train leaves Algiers' Agha station at 18:40.
By road
One can also reach Annaba by road quite easily from most major Algerian cities. However, due to the road construction and traffic jams this is the least desirable option.
From the airport there is a regular bus shuttle service that runs to downtown Annaba.
