Family holidays with children in Algeria - attractions and entertainment

A family vacation in Algeria is not only possible but can become a mesmerizing experience for years to come. Marvelous landscapes, attractive urban areas, interesting landmarks – not only children but also their parents will enjoy visiting them. Don’t be distracted by the fact that Algeria is a Muslim country, and the rules adopted here may sound strange to guests from Europe or North America. Of course, crop tops and drinking beer in public areas are prohibited in the country. However, Algerians are very friendly and kind when it comes to children. Local people love children. In contrast to many other countries, it is normal to offer candies and other treats to unknown children in Algeria. The nationality of kids is not important.

Don’t forget to visit the Ben Aknoun Zoo. This is the most beautiful destination in the country where visitors can see wild animals. The zoo is not only a wonderful place to see rare species but also a great place to relax in the shade of trees. There are forest areas, playgrounds for children, and interesting monuments dedicated to heroes of the continent. As there are shops and fast food cafes in the zoo, visitors do not need to leave it when they are hungry. In short, Ben Aknoun is a great place to spend a whole day.

Is your teenager child old enough to try scuba diving? Or maybe he or she already loves this activity and is eager to explore new diving sites. Either way, Decapalm Diving Club, which is open in Algiers, is a great choice for beginner and experienced divers. All family members will find it interesting to visit it. Active kids can master the art of scuba diving together with professional coaches. The big club has two boats that regularly take customers to diving sites. Don’t worry that your child can get cold – the temperature of water doesn’t fall below 24°C even in autumn. Adults, who are not interested in the exploration of the underwater world, can relax in special rooms and an outdoor terrace meanwhile. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

If your child loves nature, there is no need to visit remote areas, hire guides, and be worried that everyone gets tired. Simply visit the Jardin d'Essai du Hamma or the Botanical Garden of El Hamma. It is so easy to imagine that you are in real jungles somewhere on an uninhabited island when visiting this garden. By the way, the Tarzan movie was filmed in this botanical garden, and this is another proof that El Hamma is not much different from the real tropical forests. Children and their parents will be excited to explore gorgeous fountains and charming parkways with old trees on both sides. There is also a small farm with baby goats that kids can hand feed. Finally, a pond with goldfish is a nice place to relax.

Even children who do not like exhibitions and boring halls with items will be excited to attend the Bardo National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography. This museum exhibits items that visitors cannot see anywhere else in the world. Colorful mosaics and intricate drawings on the walls of the museum only underline the beauty of this place. Boys will be excited to look at ancient weapons and household items of prehistoric humans. Girls will want to stay longer in the halls with antique clothing and jewelry. Finally, it is hard to refrain from petting and playing with cute cats – there is a whole family of these cute animals in the museum.

Promenade des Sablettes is an attractive modern park that is great for young travelers. It is a long boulevard with palm trees and benches. Parents can sit on these benches while their kids have fun in playgrounds. A toy castle and houses, merry-go-rounds, slides, and comfortable areas for running and jumping – no wonder why kids love Promenade des Sablettes. It would be a mistake not to mention the fresh sea breeze that is good for both physical and psychological health.

The Ben Aknoun Park attracts not only travelers but also local families with children. This amusement park is suitable for visitors with children of all ages. There are special playgrounds and small houses for babies. School-age children, as a rule, like merry-go-rounds and swings. For teenagers and adults, the park has thrilling rollercoasters and other attractions. This is a green park with fresh air and many comfortable and shadowy areas. The last but not the least, Kiffan Club is widely recognized as the best aqua park in Algeria.
