The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria is in north Africa on the Mediterranean coast. Algeria, the second largest nation on the African continent, is bordered on the northeast by Tunisia, the east by Libya, Niger on the southeast, Mali and Mauritania on the southwest and Morocco on the west. Algeria is constitutionally an Islamic, Arab and Berber nation, and included in descriptions of Middle Eastern countries.
The coastline is mountainous, just inland is a fertile belt called the Tell, further south are the Atlas Mountains and then the Sahara Desert.
Algeria has been inhabited for millenia, first by Berbers, then ruled by the Carthaginians, Rome, the Vandals, Byzantium, Arabs, invasion attempts by Spain, the Ottoman Empire, gaining independence from the French in 1962.
Algiers, the capital and largest city is located on the Mediterrean coast. The name is from an Arabic word which means “the islands”, for the islands that became part of the mainland in 1525.

Couscous is a Berber pasta dish of semolina traditionally served with a meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous, which is among the healthiest grain-based products, is a staple food throughout Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Couscous is very labor-intensive to produce.
