Marseille Guide

The French city and port of Marseille lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast in the south of France. It is France's second largest city and France's largest commercial port. Stretching to the east from the Old Port to the Reformes Quarter is the city's main thoroughfare. At the entrance to the Old Port are two large forts, Fort Saint Nicolas on the south and Fort Saint Jean on the north. The Frioul Archipelago is located in the Bay of Marseille and is made up of four islands. Located on one of the islands is the Chateau d'If which was made famous by the novel by Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo. The city's centre has a number of pedestrianised streets, most notably the Rue St Ferreol, Cours Julien near the Music Conservatory, the Cours Honore-d'Estienne-d'Orves which is off the Old Port, and the area around the Hotel de Ville.

Four ferry companies run routes out of Marseille and offer scheduled services to Corsica, Sardinia, Algeria and Tunisia. There are four separate terminals and are all in the "gares maritimes sud" (southern terminals) district. National Terminals One and Two serve passengers to and from Corsica and Sardinia, while International Terminals Three and Four serve passengers to and from Algeria and Tunisia.

Annaba Guide

Annaba, once known as Hippo Regius during the Roman times, is the fourth largest city in Algeria. The city is located in Annaba province on the northeastern corner of Algeria, near the river Wadi Seybouse and the Tunisian border.

Annaba has undergone significant growth and is a leading industrial centre in Eastern Algeria. Compared to other Algerian coastal cities such as Oran and the capital Algiers, Annaba’s metropolitan area has a higher population density. Economically, Annaba is the centre for various dynamic activities such as industry, transport, finance and tourism, with its port handling the majority of the country’s mineral exports.

As a coastal city with beautiful beaches, mountains reaching 1080 metres, surrounding hills, and footpaths leading you to explore its rich history and culture, Annaba is an important centre for tourism and is one of the major tourist attractions in the Western Mediterranean. During the summer periods, the beaches in Annaba provide the majority of the city’s work opportunities.
