Climate
The north along the Mediterranean coast (Algiers, Oran, Constantine) has a Mediterranean climate with mild wet winters and hot dry summers. The Sahara Desert dominates the vast south. The Tell Atlas mountains provide a green, forested strip. Algeria is Africa's largest country; the coast is only a small fraction of its total area but is where the vast majority of people (and expats) live.
