Gouraya National Park

Gouraya National Park is a coastal protected area situated in Béjaïa Province along the Mediterranean coast of northern Algeria. Established in 1984, the park encompasses approximately 20.8 square kilometers of diverse terrain ranging from coastal cliffs and beaches to the forested slopes of Gouraya Mountain, which rises to 660 meters above sea level. The park holds significant ecological importance as one of the few remaining habitats for the Barbary macaque, a primate species with a highly restricted range in northwestern North Africa. In 2004, UNESCO recognized Gouraya as a biosphere reserve, acknowledging its conservation value and the integration of human communities within its boundaries. The park serves both as a critical biodiversity sanctuary and as a popular recreation destination for Algerians seeking beaches and coastal scenery near the city of Béjaïa.
