Bir El Ater like other algerian regions, is very rich with artisanal products especially carpets.
This is called locally 'Draga', it's thin and not heavy so before it was used mainly to cover with, however now it's used as a decor or simply to put it on the ground. The motifs and the colors are very beautiful and they cound be different from carpet type to other.

The summer is the season of weddings, every week there are fews weddings going on in the city. Usualy people here start the wedding on thursday by inviting people to eat and the next day it's the party where the bride come from her parents house to her new house with a big and noisy procession in the streets using a lot of cars(usualy nice ones). The wedding is for 7 days but the first day if the big party, The new husband is invited everyday by one of his friends, the one who invite should bring the food to the new wife too but in her house. she is been served for the whole week like a princess.
