It is situated on the slopes of the Sahel Hills, which run parallel the coast, and it extends for 16 kilometres along the Bay of Algiers and has a population of around 1.7 million. It is the political, economic, and cultural centre of the nation. Algiers is chiefly a port for the import of raw materials, industrial goods, and general supplies. The main exports are wine, early vegetables and oranges, iron ore, and phosphates. The airport, Dar el-Beïda, lies east of the city.
