Awlad Bunnar

Awlad Bunnar (also known as Ouled Bounar) is one of the most fascinating coastal stretches in the Jijel province. The landscape is defined by the foothills of the Lesser Atlas, which plunge directly into the Mediterranean, creating a sweeping backdrop of rocks and turquoise water. The main beach, 'Plage Ouled Bounar,' is spacious and features golden sand. However, the area is most famous for its small, hidden coves like 'la crique I' and 'La crique II,' which guarantee crystal-clear water and privacy. Another highlight is 'Manar El Kebir' (The Great Lighthouse), which stands majestically above the coast. The region is also known for its Barbary macaques, often spotted in the forests near the coastal road. Driving along the Jijel Corniche provides spectacular views of caves and rock formations. In local restaurants, visitors can try 'Mahjouba' (stuffed flatbread) while admiring the vast sea. Awlad Bunnar is for nature photographers and hikers alike.
