| | Everyday life in Annaba, by Nadjia Bouzeghrane |
 | | Annaba, situated near the Tunisian coast, has the reputation of being a welcoming, open and tolerant town. |
 | | In Annaba (which has also gone by the names Hippone, Bouna and Bône), the presence of Numidians and occupation by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans (St Augustin was its bishop from 395-430), Vandals, Fatimids, Zirids and Hamadites can all be traced through some rather poorly preserved remains. |
 | | The wilaya of Annaba (population 600,000, of whom 87% live in the town) only has 155 classified hotels providing 9,355 rooms and 15 other unclassified hotels, far too few to cater for the growing influx of holiday-makers who have come especially since 1992 with the outbreak of violence in other parts of Algeria. |
