Skikda

About

Skikda is a popular resort destination, renowned for its pleasant climate and white sandy beaches, including Plage Remila, Plage de Oued Lekbir, and Plage d'el marsa. The Port of Skikda is a good place for snorkeling, try the local cuisine, and enjoy the views of the open sea. The area's amenities include restaurants and organized scuba diving outfits, providing rentals and organized tours to popular diving spots. Supporting Algeria's third largest port, the downtown is abuzz with things to do, with plenty of cafes and restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat. Architecture fanatics will want to make a bee-line for Skikda’s City Hall, unique neo-Moorish project designed by Le Corbusier. The architectural pioneer also designed the nearby railway station, incorporating local design elements into his modernist vision. There are also a few museums to keep you busy on a rainy day, including the small but interesting Skikda Museum across from the City Hall, and the lavish Palais Meriem Azza house museum.
