Zemmouri, a coast of holiday complexes
Zemmouri El Bahri, on the Boumerdès coast, has several complexes along the Sahel road and the beach. Most work the same way: a managed beach (umbrellas, tables, sometimes activities), one or more pools, and bungalows, chalets or hotel rooms. Many also welcome day visitors for an entrance fee.

The most searched name. Le Grand Bleu is best known for its beach, popular with families from Algiers for a beach day. It also has an equestrian club, and horse rides on the beach are among the activities for children. Accommodation is available too: ask which type (apartment, bungalow), what is included and the house rules before booking.
