Algerian sweets are DELICIOUS!!! OK, they might be a bit too sweet for my taste, but still they are yummy! And prices are very convenient! You can find a huge heavy rich decorated and flavoured cake for as low as 2,5-5 EUR. And in general, when you go visiting somebody, it is a custom to bring a cake. Leave a Comment

Near the main post office (la grande poste) is a stand selling old things, like old coins, newspaper, postcards and stamps, but especially photos from old Algiers, which was very interesting to see. One big photo costs 100 DA (cca. 1 EUR). Leave a Comment

You will find lots of places in Algeria to buy souvenirs and the prices are affordable. Even if you're not buying anything it's interesting to look around. The white face cover is not used anymore, only old women still use it. There are also imitations of the prehistoric cave drawings from the south of Algiers, traditional Berber souvenirs, and so on. All of it - hand made usually. Leave a Comment

Although old artisans and their shops are slowly fading away, there are still some traditional workshops, especially in the Casbah. This was a particularly nice and friendly artist, who works mainly in copper and has some impressive items in his shop, all hand made. He inherited the business from his father and the interior of the shop is personalized by awards, praises and family photos. And an Algerian flag! Leave a Comment

Part of the old artisan shops in Casbah, there is also a tailor shop. It's quite rustic and the owner is very friendly and chatty and seemed to be in the great mood. The stuff is traditional, more or less, and the shop features photos of popular singers whose music was coming out of the shop. Leave a Comment

Out of Algiers or in its outskirts you can see much more people in traditional clothes, especially in the small towns and suburbs. In the centre of Algiers there are modernly dressed people. Leave a Comment
