Algiers, Algeria
The harbor in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, is one of northwest Africa’s principal Mediterranean ports and a refueling station for ships. Two sections of the city exist, the modern French lower side and the Casbah, an old area named after the 16th-century fortress located in its narrow, winding streets.
