luxury hotels, such as the cafeteria, bar, restaurant, nightclub, pool, etc.. In addition it should be noted
that during the summer season from June 15 to August 31, many owners rent houses and cottages on the
Mediterranean Sea from Port Say (Marsa Ben M'hidi) in El-Kala. Prices vary depending on the number of
pieces, usually between 700 euros to 3000 euros per month, electricity included, but it is best to book in
advance through an acquaintance or a travel agency. Also, many Algerian uses the site on the Internet
ads, bids are sometimes interesting and even opportunities to be missed, but it is always best to send a
loved one to visit the place before paying money to the deal. There is also the complex Meskoutine
