Excursion Capture the moment tour at Oran

Discover Oran with the eyes of a photographer on this memorable photographic expedition. Board your coach for a short drive to the center of Algeria's second largest town, Oran, with a population of over 1.5 million. Much of the structure of the city was formed by the French and Spanish settlers. Oran is only 200km from Spain, in comparison to the 450 km from Algiers, which explains the mixture of influences on the architecture and their Latin "joie de vivre."

Join your guide and a professional photographer, who is ready to show you both the iconic and quirky places in Oran, such as the Great Mosque, La Place d'Armes and the Cathedral of Sacre Coeur. Expect to not only learn the history of the places you visit but also receive tips on how to take better photos with your phone or camera to enable you to take creative photo souvenirs.

Re-board your coach for an uphill drive to take in the view from Santa Cruz heights from where you have a bird's eye view of Oran. Try to spot the places that you saw earlier while driving through the city center. Return to the ship.
