nHappynbirthday to Algeria!
n
n
n
n
n
nOnnthis date in 1962, Algeria became fully independent of France. n
n
n
n
n
n
nAlgerianis a pretty large nation: it’s the largest country in the Arab world,nthe largest country on the Mediterranean Sea, AND the largest countrynin Africa. However, 90% of Algeria is desert.
n
n
n
n
n
nChecknout some of the wonders of Algeria:
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThenRomans made a strip of Algeria a part of their empire. This town,nThamugadi, included a market, library, and theater, plus ceremonialngates and more than a dozen bath complexes.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nAlgeria is a modern nation with natural gas and petroleum industries.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nOfncourse, with all that desert, there are some beautiful sand dunes.nBut there are also some crazy rock structures.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nAboutn99% of Algerians are Muslim.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nSonI guess you could say that Islam is the “dominant” religion!
n
n
n
n
n
nLikenother nations on the Mediterranean, Algeria has some very nicenbeaches!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nNorthernnAlgeria has at least one ski resort, Tikjda. It isn’t the typicalnpicture we have of Algeria, is it?
