Is Algiers Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Algiers

Algiers is mostly safe if we walk during daytime, after night it’s hard for us women to go out alone in certain areas so it’s important to be well informed beforehand, also street harassment is very frequent you should expect that often

It’s very area dependent, « richer areas » like hydra or Sidi yahia are really safe whereas downtown you’d experience more sexual harassment and pickpockets. But overall it’s generally safe, just stay cautious and dress modestly

Algiers is safe but you should know where to go an when to go out , I don’t recommend some places like el harach bab el oued and some other ones , and you have to dress modestly in certain places so you just need to know safe places

As a girl who goes out at 05:30 am no matter the season (night time in winter and very early morning in summer), and goes back home alone by 8pm some times, the only thing I'm worried about is seeing a dog on my way home (dogs being a source of phobia for me -thankfully I rarely come across them-) Public transportations are extremely safe except for phone robery cases -try not to use your phone in open crowded places and you'll be fine- You should be more worried about the safety of the local equivalents of Uber rides, some violence cases had been reported.

Alger is beautiful And as much safe as any other big city in the world were we go around confortably but we still prevent. Walking very night is not recommanded however walking early morning or by the sunset is very apreciated.

Algiers is at a moderate level of safety. I wouldn’t advise staying out at night, because there are chances that you can be sexually harassed by men & keep an eye on your phone & wallet when strolling out.

Algiers is an overall safe city. There are however some precautions to take especially in certain areas, it’s a Muslim country so it’s better to avoid light clothing. Nonetheless, during the day it’s completely okay to stroll especially downtown, however at night it’s better to be accompanied.

During day time, it's pretty safe if you stay in well populated areas and avoid the bad areas, you can commute safely without worrying at all whether on foot or in public transportation (beware of some pickpockets). It's generally not safe at all to take public transportation at night nor is it to walk outside after dark. It depends on the area though, some are very lively at night with great spots and restaurants and are pretty safe to be in but I would strongly suggest not going unless accompanied by a local who knows the safe places after dark. TLDR; Safety during day time: 8/10 (9.5/10 if you are in popular and well populated places) Safety during night time: 1/10 (just don't risk it, unless accompanied by a local)

Safe. Beautiful. Affordable. You will enjoy your time. It's better to stay in the capital near the transport links. Bank cards aren't frequently used, so it's preferable to bring cash or exchange money upon arrival in Algeria. You're very welcome.
