Good morning everybody, it's Sabil Khair and welcome here to Algiers, the capital of Algeria
0:04
the largest country here in beautiful Africa. Alhamdulillah I'm here and finally I'm exploring
0:09
this beautiful capital city. I just spent the last few days in the south in the desert which
0:13
was incredible, you can check the last video. But today we're going to be exploring this beautiful capital city and I cannot wait. Yella. So I've just arrived here to the Botanical Gardens
0:25
by Metro. The Metro here in Algeria is very very easy to use so if you're a tourist coming here
0:29
highly recommend taking that it's also very cheap and super clean and

I'm actually just about to take this telephoric all the way up to the monument. It's a beautiful day. The Sun is finally out
0:40
Look at this beautiful Algiers The dog open Let's go
0:59
After taking the teleferic all the way up the mountain to the beautiful forest, the air up here is so clean
1:07
It feels like a beautiful spring day. I just made it here to the Martyrs Monument. This was built in 1982, 20 years after the year of independence
1:15
And it's actually architecturally built like three standing palm leaves, which protect the eternal flame underneath, which I'll go and show you in just a second
1:24
When the Ottomans weakened back in 1830, the French moved in. and it was 132 years later the Algerians finally had their independence back in 1962
1:40
let's take a look directly under the monument up here you have the botanical gardens as you walk through stunning stunning
2:21
it's a fancy show this year Okay this tree behind me perhaps one of the world most famous trees and I tell you why So the film Tarzan back in actually 1932 so we talking over 90 years ago
2:45
This was the set of the movie. Huge, beautiful tree currently here in the botanical gardens
2:54
So peaceful here. so when the french were actually here they used to test plants inside the this
3:05
botanical garden and send them all the way back to Versailles honestly Algerians who live in Algiers are so lucky to have this it's just incredible
3:51
Welcome everybody to the Grand Mosque here in Algiers. The third largest mosque in the world, only after Makkah and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina
4:02
The largest mosque in the whole of Africa. And it's also home to the tallest minaret in the world
4:09
This beautiful mosque can fit over 120,000 people. I'm not allowed to use my camera, so I'm just on my phone
4:15
I hope that's okay. That may be beautiful. You can see the huge minaret, as I said the tallest in the world
4:35
That detail is just a supply of some honour

5:28
I've actually now visited, I think, now the top eight mosques in the world, maybe the top seven. Alhamdulillah
6:15
The sauce is delicious Okay, first thing I'm trying to eat here in Algiers
6:31
is a traditional food here called pizza curry and this is a really really popular street food dish here
6:37
I've got the spicy version as well Please stop very good I ordered the spicy version but there's no spice in it
6:48
maybe Algerians don't like spice this is super famous here because number one is so cheap
6:53
and it's really really fast here for Algerians who are always working oh I like that
7:00
I like that that's good I've just arrived here to the upper area of the Khazbah, the iconic and world-renowned
7:28
area of the capital here in Algiers. Beautiful, stunning, winding alleys, working its way
7:33
up to a viewpoint like this. It's world-renowned and it actually became a UNESCO World Heritage
7:38
Site back in 1992. I've just come up to a historic house here, which has actually turned
7:43
into a museum and the view from here is just remarkable. It's sunset now

All the winding alleys. It really reminds me of Istanbul. Café is just down here, the winding streets
