El Golea

Overview

Introduction

Swaying palm trees frame this classic Saharan oasis. El Golea is really quite beautiful, with its tree-lined boulevards and even an old French Foreign Legion post. The city market is in a courtyard, and among the fruits and vegetables are magnificent watermelons, ripe red tomatoes and white pomegranates. There's really not much to do, however. 400 mi/650 km south of Algiers.
