Algeria in expat eyes

opssss
does it mean expats in Algeria are

Hi Nadji!!

I arrived in Algiers in the middle of the summer, so of course the first thing I noticed was the crazy heat! Oh my is it HOT!
I've noticed, and really appreciate how calm, or relaxed the people seem to be. Other than when driving (the driving did scare me a little bit) Algerians seem to be very relaxed, not always in a hurry like I've experienced in many other countries. Algerians are also some of the sweetest people I have met! The landscape is beautiful too! Driving to the coast was great!

hello sweetocean

thanks for the drop
hope more expats will give their point of view to make the forum valuable

My first trip here was in 1998,when the plane arrived at the airport I immediately noticed lots of police with guns,and lots of men everywhere you looked!!!a bit of a culture shock tbh,I lived in Italy for 9yrs,so I expected a similarity to Napoli maybe,not really!!!    but that was then,this is now and how it has changed !!! Still developing but so much more inviting than in the 1990's!! The good points are Islam, of course,then the relaxed way of life,fresh fruit&veg,areas of beauty,like Jijel and the mountains,the Sahara,the people are generally really nice......negatives...I wish people wouldn't throw rubbish everywhere,there are bins around and of course the crazy crazy drivers!! Otherwise I am very happy living here for the foreseeable future InshAllah....

Salams Simsimaa...I can tell you about becoming an Algerian citizen...you need to have residency here for 7 yrs then you can apply for an Algerian passport...a couple of my friends,one Irish,one English are already applying for their Algerian passports...
Concerning living here,well that depends on whereabouts you will be and will you live with his family or alone,will he have an income to support you?...
