Being in a new city, walking without a plan, laughing freely and meeting new people opened my heart in ways I didn’t know I needed.It reminded me that life expands when you let yourself out there and never let fear control your decisions🫶

It was safe fun splendid . Nothing to say really. It’s not expensive at all and not very crowded.the Virgin Mary statue is pretty interesting to check out. Also moskes and ancient structures are worth the visit.

Oran is the second largest city in Algeria. It has beautiful beaches and European buildings in the city center, but other areas are poor. Most Oranian people are affected by the struggling economy. Oran is not the best, but it's not the worst either. It is a mid-sized city with mixed conditions. Hopefully, someday we can achieve a modern lifestyle like in Eastern countries.
