Sidi Fredj is a seaside resort on a small peninsula about 30 km west of Algiers. Known in French times as Sidi Ferruch, it is where the French army landed in June 1830 at the start of the conquest of Algeria; today its marina and holiday complex, designed by the architect Fernand Pouillon in the 1970s, draw visitors from the capital. These photos were taken in 2004.
