I have a friend from Algeria, you know the country in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast.
Oh wow! That's quite a far trip! Have you ever been there to visit?
No I haven't, she lives in the capital Algiers that is located in the far north of the country.
Is Algeria a large country?
Well it is the tenth largest country in the world and largest in Africa, so yes.
I'd love to see Algeria! What are some things your friend likes to do in her country?
Well I know she sometimes visit some of the 48 provinces and 1.541 communes.
That does sound like a big country! Do you know what the population is of Algeria?
