What do people like (and dislike) about Algiers?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Algiers, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Algiers, often appreciate the city's rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. They enjoy exploring the ancient Casbah, visiting museums, and experiencing the local music scene. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm summers and mild winters, is also a draw for many. The relatively low cost of living in Algiers is another advantage, as it allows expats and digital nomads to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The local cuisine, featuring delicious traditional dishes like couscous and tagine, is also a highlight for many. However, there are also several challenges that expats and digital nomads face while living in Algiers. One of the main concerns is the lack of reliable and fast internet connectivity, which can be a significant obstacle for those who rely on the internet for work or communication. The language barrier can also be an issue, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Arabic or French may be necessary to navigate daily life. Additionally, the bureaucracy and red tape involved in obtaining visas, work permits, and other necessary documentation can be frustrating and time-consuming. Safety and security are also concerns for some expats and digital nomads, as Algeria has experienced political instability and terrorism in the past. While Algiers is generally considered safer than other parts of the country, it is still essential to be cautious and aware of one's surroundings. Lastly, the lack of a well-established expat community can make it challenging to build a social network and find like-minded individuals. This can lead to feelings of isolation and difficulty adjusting to life in Algiers," said another in Algiers, Algeria.
