-------------------------------
Algiers (French Alger, El-Jezair, i.e. The Islands) is the capital and largest city of Algeria in North Africa. Nicknamed Alger la Blanche ("Algiers the White") for the glistening white of its buildings as seen sloping up from the sea, it is situated on the west side of a bay of the Mediterranean Sea. The city name is derived from it's location on the slopes of the "Sahel", a chain of hills parallel to the coast. Its geographical co-ordinates are: 36°47? N 3°4? E.
The modern part of the city is built on the level ground by the seashore and the old part, the ancient city of the deys, climbs the steep hill behind the modern town and is crowned by the casbah or citadel, 400 feet above the sea. The casbah and the two quays form a triangle.
