Overview
Overview
Ghazaouet boasts with mountainous hills and close ports and beaches where locals can be seen diving and swimming near fishing boats. The port of Ghazaouet is also a point of entry for Algerians entering the country via boat from Almeria, Spain. The well known Algerian comedian Abdelkader Secteur is also from this town. Majority of the Fliti family reside in this area. The Lighthouse of Nemours, as displayed is also known by the locals as "Deux Frères". The rock itself is climbable however, requires a 7-to-10 minute swim from the pier/port to reach whereas, a ladder attached to the rock will allow you to climb onto a staircase to then walk around the top of the lighthouse, in which oftentimes locals dive and jump from 95 meters high. This activity can be recognized just by standing at the pier/port.
