Algiers Travel Forum

Oh, i see i'm not the only one who asks about safety in Algiers. I found a ticket not very expensive for a weekend in Algiers but the recommendations from my government are very bad. they say don't go alone, don't visit the casbah, don't go without a person from the country...just what i wanted to do :-((. How is the situation really there?...it would be more useful to know the opinion from non algerian people, who went there as tourists, like me.
Thanks a lot,
Elisa

Are there any beaches in Algiers that you can swim at? If so, is it appropriate wear a normal guys' bathing suit(shorts) in Algeria? Also, is Algiers safe for a white American? Is Algeria a very conservative country? Can I wear shorts and a t-shirt, or is it innapropriate? PLEASE REPLY ASAP!! Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking of visiting Algiers in May 2006.I would really welcome some information about the advisability of such a trip as I am a woman and I will probably be travelling on my own.My Govt travel pages are quite negative. I have also read some pages by VT members who live there.Friends from Algiers believe it is safe to visit now. I would not be going beyond the city. Please, I am so hoping you will respond with not only some travel tips but also some places to see when I get there. Thanking you in advance Jackie

Hi,
My husband is Algerian. He wants to take me this spring. I want to go and meet his family but at the same time I'm a little scared. I was wondering how much restrication is on women over there. I wont get stuck there if I want to leave the country and he doesn't. I've just heard so many horriable stories about women being forced to stay in a country.
thank you

We are going to Algiers and we need to find what do we expect to pay for a round trip from Paris in June.
We also need to know the hotel prices on the beach.

Thank you.
