Marsa Ben Mehidi, Algeria Marsa Ben Mehidi. Perhaps you could try swimming underwater from Saidia in Morocco . There are no guards in the water, between these two twin cities, only 300 metres apart. Marsa Ben Mehidi has the nicer setting of the two cities, you arrive here through a cleft in the mountain, where the parallel road in Morocco is only 15 metres away. Marsa Ben Mehidi is a small town, where nothing happens outside the summer season when Algerians from the inland fill up the 2 km of beach.
Swimming is great, with the dramatic and very beautiful mountains all along the fringe of the town.
Knowing that if you swim a little too far to the west, will have you shot, might thrill some people. Sponsor A couple of basic hotels and simple restaurants. All rights reserved.
