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!

The weekends are different from western countries. They are thursday and friday. And friday, between 11:30 and 15:00 everywhere is closed down. I am not sure if there are flights between these hours. I know that Turkish Airlines do not have flight in friday. So when you are preparing for your visit, consider the work days. Saturday and sunday are normal work days.

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.

On the street markets you will often find goods of different type and appliance together, like fruit and clothes, for example, sold on the very same stand. Colourful and fun! :)
