Seraidi is a scenic mountain municipality located in the Edough Massif, roughly 13 kilometers from the coastal city of Annaba. Sitting at an altitude of approximately 850 meters, the town gives a significantly cooler climate than the coastal plains below. Its elevated position provides sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Annaba and the sprawling city, making it a popular daytime retreat for locals seeking fresh mountain air. The architecture of Seraidi blends local Algerian mountain homes with remnants of colonial-era villas, surrounded by dense forests of cork oak and chestnut trees. One of the town's architectural highlights is the modern El Mountazah Hotel, designed by the famous French architect Fernand Pouillon, which perfectly integrates into the steep terrain. The surrounding forests are crisscrossed with hiking trails that cater to nature enthusiasts. Getting to Seraidi involves a steep, winding drive up the mountain via the CW22 road from Annaba, a journey that has dramatic viewpoints along the way. Local cafes serve traditional mint tea and simple Algerian snacks. Due to its altitude, Seraidi is best visited in the summer to escape the coastal heat, though winter visitors might occasionally encounter light snowfall, a rarity in this part of North Africa.
