USA. Algeria.
Dear Harry,
Thank you very much for your letter and for the lovely postcards about your capital Washington ,they are really very nice .
It's my turn to tell you about my hometown "Algiers" ,the capital of my country Algeria, is also called "Alger la Blanche" .
Algeria is in the north west of Africa , it's 2.318.741 sq/ km ,it has more than 33 million inhabitants and Algiers is the most
populated city of the country .
There are many important places you can visit in my capital, the old city "Ekassaba" which is one of the oldest cities in the
world ,there is also "Tem Monument of the Martyrs " which on the top of a hill ,from it you can have a general view of the
city and the sea.
Many tourists visit the capital , walk through the narrow streets of the old city ,take photos and admire the beauty of the
city.
Waiting forward to your reply
Yours
Ahmed .
