Sidi Fredj, Coastal town in Staouéli, Algeria.

The marina of Sidi Fredj extends into the Mediterranean Sea, featuring a 24-meter concrete lighthouse that guides vessels within a 17-nautical-mile range.

In 1830, French military forces selected this strategic location as their landing point during the invasion of Algiers, leading to colonial occupation.

The former Roman settlement of Obori, now Sidi Fredj, maintains its status as a Catholic titular bishopric with appointed representatives throughout different periods.

The town connects to central Algiers through regular transportation services, while the marina provides docking facilities for recreational and fishing vessels.

Several French Navy vessels received the name Sidi Ferruch to commemorate the historical significance of this Mediterranean coastal location.
