The street narrows and the guide signals to look up — a row of carved balconies leans over you like a second skyline, and the pace of the city drops to the rhythm of footsteps. This guided loop through Oran’s older quarters and hilltop fortress stitches alleys, a compact museum, and a commanding Spanish-era fort into a two- to three-hour cultural walk.
