| Events Countries in Pictures - Travel Talk Series - ALGERIA by Mr. Vincent WONG 
Countries in Pictures - Travel Talk Series ALGERIA by Mr. Vincent WONG Algeria, officially the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, is the largest country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Inhabited since prehistory, Algeria has been at the crossroads of numerous cultures and civilization, including the Phoenicians, Numidians, Romans, Vandale, Byzantine Greeks, Islamic Arab, Berber dynasties, the Ottoman Empire, and was finally colonized by France in 1848. The country gained independence in 1954 after a long and fierce war with France. It then descended into a bloody Civil War from 1992 to 2002, hampering development. Algeria has one of Africa's largest economies due mostly to its large oil and gas reserves. The country is famous for its historic relics, especially large Roman architecture and refined mosaic, many of which have been classified as UNESCO Heritage Sites. The natural sceneries in the Sahara Desert are also most stunning. Tourism development, however, is still at its infancy due to the lack of infrastructure and general safety concerns.
