Top Attractions in Annaba
💡 Best walked at sunset when the light hits the white buildings on the hillside. Vendors sell roasted corn and dates. Avoid the far east end after dark—it gets isolated.
💡 Non-Muslims can enter the courtyard and take photos outside. Dress modestly—long sleeves and trousers. Best visited just before sunset when the call to prayer echoes across the bay.
💡 Great for a quiet picnic away from the beach crowds. The gate is locked at 8pm sharp. Look for the old colonial villa next door—it's the French consulate.
💡 Climb the hill to the left of the church for a clear view of the bay and the Hippo Regius ruins below. The interior is often locked outside mass times (roughly 7am and 6pm), so aim for Sunday morning.
💡 Enter via the small gate near the Basilica of St. Augustine to avoid confusion with the paid museum. The site is unstaffed; bring water and a hat. The mosaic floors in the forum are still intact.
