Flying to Oceania draft
[edit]Airfares can be cheaper when booked from the European capital that has a strong colonial link to your destination, which typically means from London or Paris. Cities with large populations in South and East Asia offer a selection of flights to Oceania.
If you have additional travel time, check to see how your total fare quote to Oceania compares with a round-the-world fare. Don't forget to add in the extra costs of additional visas, departure taxes, ground transportation, etc. for all those places outside of Oceania.
See your destination's article for more specific information on flights. While it isn't hard to reach Australia or New Zealand, getting to Tuvalu or the Marshall Islands can be quite a challenge.

Get around
[edit]See
[edit]- Church of Saint Augustine of Hippo (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 itself is a marvel, with stunning architecture and ancient Roman ruins right behind it. Saint Augustine's hand is kept inside the church.
- Downtown Annaba. A great place to take a stroll. Visit "Le Cours" the central square in downtown and try some delicious ice cream sold at local cafes. Walk around downtown and be surrounded by French colonial architecture and stunning contrasts of old and new. Just off Le Cours is "La Place d'Armes".
- The Kasbah. The oldest part of the city, it has magnificent Ottoman architecture and was built starting in the 12th century. Enjoy narrow alleys and walkways and marvel at the fact that people to this day still live in these houses. It is on a hill and at the bottom at the entrance of La Place d'Armes is a mosques built by the Turks in the 16th century.
Do
[edit]- Beaches. 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.
- Amusement park ("Les Allemande" neighbourhood). A good time for families with young children.
Buy
[edit]Eat
[edit]Annaba has countless places to eat. Whether they be small family owned cafes, and restaurants to big fancy places there is a wide range of places to chose from. The fancier restaurants are almost exclusively located at La Corniche, and by major beaches. However, cafes and restaurants are located all over town.
Where ever one goes in Algeria, whether they are in the west, east or south of the country, trying the pizza sold at local cafes and restaurants is a must. Similar to the way Italians make pizza in Italy, it is delicious, and a welcome change to the usual round, heavy, topping filled pizza served in most western countries.
One thing Annaba specializes in, is "bourek". Bourek is an Algerian "eggroll". The east of Algeria, and more so Annaba, specializes in this delicacy. It's a must have when visiting Annaba.
Enjoying a coffee and croissant at a cafe with the locals is always a good thing.

Go next
[edit]There are a number of places to visit that are around or close to Annaba.
Seraidi: Seraidi is a small village up high in the mountains that surround Annaba. It's about 13 km from downtown. It's a great place to enjoy a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city and escape enjoying the tranquility and clean, crisp air. There is a famous hotel there known to the locals as "Hotel Al-Hawa", literally "hotel of the wind". It is called that because it's so high up that it breaks the clouds and offers a great place to stay and has amazing views. On a clear day one can see the amazing views of the coastline and natural beaches below. On a cloudy day there is noting but clouds. It's a great place to see the sunrise or sunset.
El Caala: El Caala is a small town about an hour and a half drive east of Annaba. It's on the road to Tuinisia so it is very service oriented. There are many hotels, clubs, restaurants to enjoy. The beach of course, and many souvenirs one can get from there. Not far from El Caala there is "La Vielle Calle" or "Old Caala". There is a wonderful beach there and ruins of a French fort which are beautiful. La Vielle Calle is about 30-45 minutes away.
Tunisia: Annaba is in the east of Algeria, not far from the Tunisian border. A drive to the Tunisian capital, Tunis, takes about four hours. The roads leading to Tunisia from Annaba are very well serviced and have numerous service oriented places on the way, such as reataurants, hotels and gas stations.

Other nearby scenic spots include the Aiguades beach and the Pic des Singes (Monkey Peak); the latter site is a habitat for the endangered Barbary macaque, which prehistorically had a much broader distribution than at present. All three of these geographic features are located in the Gouraya National Park.
