Hi, I’m Ali, a professional and passionate tour guide from Oran, my hometown on the Mediterranean coast. For more than three years, I have been sharing the history, architecture, and cultural treasures of Oran and Tlemcen with travelers from all over the world. I hold a Master’s degree in Language and Culture, I speak French, Arabic, and English, and I enjoy making every visit both educational and entertaining. My tours are not only about monuments, but also about the soul of the cities: the Spanish fortifications like Santa Cruz and Rosalcazar, the French colonial architecture in the European quarter, the vibrant markets, and the authentic flavors of Oran such as our traditional pastries. I also guide in Tlemcen, where the Andalusian heritage, waterfalls, and palaces create a unique blend of history and nature. What makes my tours special is the personal touch: I grew up surrounded by the stories of my father about Oran in the 70s–80s, and today I share those memories with travelers, connecting past and present. Whether you are interested in history, daily life, or simply enjoying the Mediterranean atmosphere, I will make sure your experience is authentic, warm, and unforgettable.
