Algeria is situated along the North
African coast, bordered to the east by Tunisia and Libya, to the
southeast by Niger, to the southwest by Mali, and to the west by
Mauritania and Morocco. It is Africa’s second-largest country, with
1,200km (750 miles) of coastline. Along the coastal strip are the
main towns, fertile land, beach resorts and 90% of the population.
Further south lies the area of the Hauts Plateaux, mountains of up
to 2,000m (6,600ft) covered in cedar, pine and cypress forests with
broad arable plains dividing the plateaux. The remaining 85% of the
country is the Sahara Desert in its various forms, sustaining only
500,000 people, many of whom are nomadic tribes with goat and camel
herds. The oil and minerals boom has created new industrial centres
like Hassi Messaoud, which have grown up within previously barely
inhabited regions of the northern Sahara. The plains of gravel and
sand in the deep south are interrupted by two mountain ranges: the
dramatic Hoggar massif, rising to almost 3,000m (9,800ft), and the
Tassili N’Ajjer or ‘Plateau of Chasms’. Both have long been
important centres of Tuareg culture.

Mediterranean Sea, between Morocco and Tunisia
