Algeria



(Official name: People’s 



Democratic Republic of Algeria)

One of the largest countries in Africa and the Arab

2.4 million square kilometers, or the equivalent

Sahara, where rich hydrocarbon and mineral 

resources are found. The major cities are the capi-

tal, Algiers, Constantine, Tlemcen, and Oran.
