Algiers, Algeria | June 23rd, 2024 — The 2024 summer season in Mostaganem was officially launched on Saturday, with Brahim Merad, Minister of Interior, Local Communities, and Territorial Development leading the event. Joined by Mokhtar Didouche, Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts, and Fazia Dahleb, Minister of Environment and Renewable Energies, Minister Merad praised the collaborative efforts of stakeholders in ensuring the success of the season.
Renovation and Inauguration
The highlight of the opening ceremony was the inauguration of the newly renovated Salamandre seaside promenade project, underscoring the joint efforts involved in enhancing the coastal infrastructure.
Introduction of “Mostaganem, My Destination” App
At Les Dunes beach, the ministers launched the “Mostaganem, My Destination” mobile application aimed at enhancing tourism services’ visibility within the wilaya. This initiative is designed to attract more tourists and improve their experience through accessible information about local attractions and services.
Enhancements to Beaches and Urban Spaces
Inspecting various exhibits and presentations from sectors involved in preparation, including security services, civil protection, handicrafts, and culture, the ministers also reviewed plans for beach and promenade renovations at Salamandre. They emphasized the importance of maintaining and improving urban spaces and coastal attractions.
Public Management of Parking Facilities
Efforts have been intensified to enhance visitor experiences in coastal municipalities, including better management of parking facilities. Public concessions for beach management aim to provide quality services and amenities while curbing informal activities through regulated operations.
Restoration of Tourist Sites
The focus remains on revitalizing tourist sites and ensuring they meet the expectations of visitors, particularly campers. Comprehensive measures under the law governing beach tourism use and exploitation have been implemented to maintain essential services and infrastructure.
Mobilization of Local Actors
Coordination efforts at the Ministry of Interior are focused on welcoming summer visitors, especially children from Southern and Highlands regions. The mobilization of resources and sectoral coordination are crucial for ensuring smooth operations in transportation, accommodation, and recreational activities.
With preparations finalized, including beach equipment installation, facility refurbishments, and beautification of urban areas, coastal communities are prepared for a successful summer season. Authorities are committed to enforcing regulations to enhance security, local services, and cultural activities, ensuring a vibrant and welcoming environment for tourists and residents alike.
Must-See Attractions in Mostaganem
The Casbah Like all Algerian casbahs, Mostaganem’s old city is steeped in history. Despite the dilapidation of some of its ancient quarters, there remains a vibrant soul in the labyrinthine streets, inviting visitors to wander among the weathered and cracked facades.

Mostaland Opened on July 13, 2017, Mostaland Park is a theme park located along the Mediterranean Sea in Mostaganem.
As the largest amusement park in Africa, spanning 57 hectares, Mostaland offers a delightful venue for summer evening strolls and entertainment. The park features a wide array of rides and attractions, as well as a zoo.
Tabana Mosque The ancient Tabana Mosque is one of Mostaganem’s oldest buildings. Constructed in 1340 during the reign of Marinid Sultan Ali Abdallah Ben Abi El Hassen Ben Saïd Merini, it stands proudly in the Tijditt district, serving as a beloved place of worship for the faithful.
For locals, Tabana is an iconic site, its hexagonal minaret making it a distinguished historical monument since May 1979. Adjacent to the old quarter of “Derb,” this centennial jewel enhances the charm and captivating beauty of the ancient city.
Cap Ivi Lighthouse A historical monument, the Cap Ivi Lighthouse is situated on a hill in the commune of Ben Abdelmalek Ramdane, just a short distance from the sea. Built in 1898, the lighthouse stands 123 meters above sea level and is visible up to 120 kilometers on clear days.
In 2015, the iconic Cap Ivi Lighthouse underwent a complete restoration under the guidance of the National Office of Maritime Signaling (ONSM) and the Ministry of Public Works. Since then, it has grown increasingly popular among visitors, who flock for guided tours.
