The city of Constantine, located in the east of Algeria, is known as the "City of the Hanging Bridges", where it came from the number of bridges connecting its sides.
The ancient city is built on a rock of hard limestone, giving it a unique view that can not be found across the world in any city. And to cross from one bank to another built throughout the ages several bridges, Constantine has more than 8 bridges, some of them crash for lack of restoration, and some are still struggling with time.
The "sand valley" passes the ancient city of Constantine and is topped by bridges at altitudes of more than 200 meters.
Constantine dominated its cultural and religious character from ancient times, and it was dedicated to the construction of mosques.
The most recent of these was the Prince Abdul Qader Al-Suhaideh Mosque, one of the largest mosques in North Africa. It is characterized by two minarets, each of which is 107 meters high and 64 meters high. The landscape of the mosque is distinguished by its magnificent architectural architecture and is one of the artifacts created by the human hand in the present age. And the completion of this design in the Andalusian Oriental style, was the fruit of cooperation between some engineers and technicians of Egyptians and Moroccans, in addition to the great contribution of Algerian engineers, technicians and workers, and the mosque can accommodate about 15 thousand worshipers.
