possible move to jijel, algeria

16 years ago

Asalamalaikum to everyone out there!

Seems there are quite a few of us British ladies moved, thinking of moving... to Algeria with their husbands and children.

We are hoping to move to jijel possibly in a couple of years' time insha'allah. We've already been there once and found the locals really helpful and friendly. The food is very organic, the beaches lovely and equally so is the surrounding scenery; mountains, countryside etc. Alhamdulillah!

As i would be alone probably a lot of the time, with the kids at school a baby of two or three at home and my Algerian husband working. I am interested to know of any practising muslim english-speaking reverts to islam living there.

On the whole jijel is a conservative part of algeria and 95% of the people there are wearing full hijab (like myself) so it is important for me to feel that 'i belong'.

Walaikumasalam
