"Expats in Blida often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as most locals speak Arabic and French, while English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate, as they are quite different from those of other countries. Furthermore, the conservative nature of the culture can be difficult to adjust to, as it is quite different from the more liberal cultures of many expats' home countries," explained one expat living in Blida, Algeria.
