Jijel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 36°48′N, 5°46′E Jijel (also called Djidjelli) is the capital of Jijel Province in northeastern Algeria. It borders near the Mediterranean Sea in the region Corniche Kabyle on the foot of the Small Kabylia Mountains, and has an estimated population of 110,000 inhabitants (2005).[citation needed]

Jijel is the administrative and trade centre for a region specializing in cork processing, leather tanning and steel making. Local agriculture produces especially citrus fruits and grains. Fishing is also of great importance. Tourism (mainly Algerians) are attracted to Jijel for the landscapes and fine sand beaches. Not being a resort Jijel can be a nice place for a vacation on The Mediterranean sea shore with two hotels and places to eat.There are Phoenician tombs nearby.

Due to the rugged landscape, Jijel is slightly isolated, but it is connected by road to large cities like Bejaïa (90 km west), Setif (135 km southwest) and Constantine (150 km southeast). There is an airport also-Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport.


Jijel is built along modern patterns with wide streets framed by trees. The surroundings consist largely of dense cork-oak forest. A peninsula lies right out from the coast and there is a citadel to the north. There is a hospital, previously a catholic church (but which was demolished), mosque and The Jijel University.
