Aïdour, Mountain summit in Oran District, Algeria
Mount Aïdour rises 429.3 meters above sea level and consists of sedimentary rock formations overlooking the Mediterranean coastline of western Algeria.
The mountain served as a strategic observation point during different periods of Oran's history, from Ottoman rule through French colonial administration until 1962.
The mountain stands as a natural landmark where local residents gather during summer evenings to observe traditional music performances and share meals.
Visitors can reach the summit through a marked hiking trail that starts from the western edge of Oran city and takes approximately two hours to complete.
The geological composition of Aïdour mountain creates natural caves within its structure, providing shelter for several species of North African bats.
