Algeria (Arabic: الجزائر al-Jazā'ir; Berber: ⵍⵣⵣⴰⵢⴻⵔ Dzayer), officially People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a sovereign state in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and most populous city is Algiers, located in the country's far north. With an area of 2,381,741 square kilometres (919,595 sq mi), Algeria is the tenth-largest country in the world, and the largest in Africa and the Arab world. Algeria is bordered to the northeast by Tunisia, to the east by Libya, to the west by Morocco, to the southwest by Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Mali, to the southeast by Niger, and to the north by the Mediterranean Sea. The country is a semi-presidential republic consisting of 48 provinces and 1,541 communes. Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been President since 1999.
Ancient Algeria has known many empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Idrisid, Aghlabid, Rustamid, Fatimids, Zirid, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Ottomans and the French colonial empire. Berbers are generally considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of Algeria. Following the Arab conquest of North Africa, most indigenous inhabitants were Arabised; thus, although most Algerians are Berber in origin, most identify with Arab culture. En masse, Algerians are a mix of Berbers, Arabs, Turks and Black Africans.
Algerian wine is wine made in Algeria. While not a significant force on the world's wine market today, Algeria has played an important role in the history of wine. Algeria's viticultural history dates back to its settlement by the Phoenicians and continued under Algeria's rule by the Roman empire. Just prior to the Algerian War of Independence, Algerian wine (along with the production of Morocco and Tunisia) accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total international wine trade. With as much land under vine as the countries of Germany and South Africa, Algeria continues to maintain a wine industry with over 70 wineries in operation.
The roots of Algerian winemaking can be traced to the settlement of the Phoenicians and the influences of nearby Carthage. Under Roman rule, winemaking continued until the Muslim conquests of North Africa in the 7th and 8th centuries. During this time the wine industry was severely limited due to the prohibition of alcohol under Islamic dietary laws. When Algeria came under French rule in 1830 vineyards were replanted in order to serve the needs of the local pieds-noir. When the phylloxera epidemic destroyed the French vineyards in the mid-19th century, Algerian wine exports into France filled the void. An influx of winemakers from the German wine region of Baden brought with them more modern winemaking techniques and helped to increase the overall quality of Algeria wine. Even after the French resumed normal levels of wine production, Algerian wine was still widely used in regions like the Languedoc as a blending component that added color and strength to the wines.
1213 Algeria, provisional designation 1931 XD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 33 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French astronomer Guy Reiss at the North African Algiers Observatory on 5 December 1931. Three nights later, the body was independently discovered by Belgian–American astronomer George Van Biesbroeck at Williams Bay in the U.S state of Wisconsin.
The dark C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,029 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.13 and is tilted by 13 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 16 hours and an albedo between 0.06 and 0.09, according to the surveys carried out by the IRAS, Akari, and WISE/NEOWISE missions.
The minor planet was named in honour of the North African country Algeria, location of the discovering observatory and a French colony at the time.

I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT TO ALGERIA AND IT HAS BLOWN ME AWAY IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO THE FRIENDLY PEOPLE. From a global perspective, the country of Algeria has a horrible misconception. And truth me told, it's one of the most beautiful places I've been inside and out. Every single person that I've met over the last 48 hours has been incredibly warm, friendly and hospitable. You honestly won't believe me until you come here! A video is just a video, but what I have been experiencing is absolutely mind-blowing. Share this video if you also love Algeria!

I've spent the last 4 days road tripping around the Northern Mediterranean coast of ALGERIA, and I have been absolutely stunned by what I've experienced. From the warm hearts to the stunning nature and complete mix of cultures, I can safely say that this country is one of the most underrated in the world. And it's huge... REALLY HUGE. After Sudan split into two countries in 2011, Algeria emerged as the largest country in Africa by size. It's so big that only 12% of the land is inhabited (with 44 million people), and over 90% of its surface is covered in the Sahara desert. If the visa wasn't so hard to get, then this country would explode in tourism. ...
ALGERIA. A country we have been SO excited to visit. After a lengthy visa process, going back and forth with the embassy in London, we finally received the go ahead whilst in Antigua. We came back and went and got our passport stamped and planned our 15 days in this insane country. We met our friend Wassim who runs Algeriatours16 and he took us around exploring the city for our first ever day!

A rare glimpse at people's daily lives in western Algeria as we go behind the scenes at three different weddings. Summer in Algeria - the largest Arab country in the world and the biggest in the African continent - is a popular time of year for traditional, elaborate weddings, particularly in the lead-up to Ramadan. At the heart of these celebrations are the brides with their hand-made outfits, their jewellery and the henna parties; as well as the delicious food that accompanies every step of the marriage process. Plus the music and armed horsemen in tribal war dress. This colourful film takes us through the rituals and significance of Algerian traditions by following three different wedding ceremonies. We speak to heritage researchers about Algeria's marriage traditions and see how en...
Why do Algeria and Morocco hate each other? The land border between Algeria and Morocco has been closed for about 20 years now. They even began building separate walls in the past few years to further segregate themselves. France controlled Algeria and Morocco till the mid 1900s. That’s when Morocco tried to reinstate its pre-colonial land claims, which extended across parts of Algeria. In 1963, Morocco invaded Southern Algeria, in what is known as the Sand War. In 1975 it attempted to annex the region known as the Western Sahara. When Saharan inhabitants rebelled, Algeria supported them against Morocco. In the 1990s, Algeria was devastated by civil strife and Morocco imposed visas on Algerians, including those holding another citizenship. Algeria and Morocco remain at odds with eac...
