Algiers

Alger (Algiers) literally means: the islands. Alger is the capital and largest city of the North African country of Algeria. The city was founded in 944 by Buluggin ibn Ziri, son of the founder of the Ziriden dynasty. It is situated on the west side of a bay on the Mediterranean Sea, from which it owes its name. The city is built on the flanks of the area in Algeria called the Sahel, a row of hills parallel to the coast. Algers had 2,364,230 inhabitants at the last census of 2008. At that time, the agglomeration was home to about 2.1 million people. About half of the population has an origin in nearby Kabylie.

The city has a seaport and an important textile and leather industry. It is primarily a university town. Algers consists of two parts: a modern part, built on a flat area on the sea coast, and the old town, which is located against the steep hills and includes the kasbah or citadel. This kasbah has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1992.

Alger (Algiers) betekent letterlijk: de eilanden. Alger is de hoofdstad en de grootste stad van het Noord-Afrikaanse land Algerije. De stad is in 944 gesticht door Buluggin ibn Ziri, zoon van de stichter van de Ziriden-dynastie. Ze is gesitueerd aan de westkant van een baai aan de Middellandse Zee, waaraan ze haar naam heeft te danken. De stad is gebouwd op de flanken van het gebied in Algerije dat Sahel heet, een rij heuvels die parallel aan de kust ligt. Algers telde 2.364.230 inwoners bij de laatste volkstelling van 2008. In de agglomeratie woonden toen ongeveer 2,1 miljoen mensen. Ongeveer de helft van de bevolking heeft een oorsprong in het nabij gelegen Kabylië.

De stad heeft een zeehaven en een belangrijke textiel- en leerindustrie. Ze is vooral een universiteitsstad. Algers bestaat uit twee delen: een modern deel, op een vlak gebied aan de zeekust gebouwd en de oude stad die tegen de steile heuvels is gelegen en onder andere uit de kasba of citadel bestaat. Deze kasba staat sinds 1992 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.
