Crowd walking from fountain and palm trees in Botanical garden El-Hamma beautiful and colorful background, Algiers - Algeria.

These bayside botanical gardens date to the first years of French occupation and today they are a sprawling natural hothouse. It's a place of outstanding beauty with avenues of palms and stands of exotic trees. To escape here from the city center, take the metro to the Jardin d'Essai stop.
