It was safe fun splendid . Nothing to say really. It’s not expensive at all and not very crowded.the Virgin Mary statue is pretty interesting to check out. Also moskes and ancient structures are worth the visit.

Casbah ⵝⴰⵇⵚⴻⴲⵝ القصبة, Group travel
I felt completely safe and at home while exploring la CASBAH. I highly recommend trying the haik, a traditional Algerian garment, and kheit errouh jewelry to fully embrace the cultural experience. The view from Stah El-Bahdja is breathtaking, and you can also enjoy delicious traditional food at reasonable prices. There are many historical houses worth visiting, each with its own unique story. I visited "Dar Lallahoum "with my sister and friend, took some pictures, and shared them. I strongly recommend visiting in a group you won’t regret it🥰

Solo travelling when you are the woman is a bit trickier but still possible, dressing modestly is a must here. As I am travelling with a person who speaks Arabic travelling is so much easier. Most people speak French, English just touristy areas.

Safe in many ways, the crime is so low, the law protect very well all nights, the people harmless and friendly and they protect , you can go out day and night without worrying, you will not find strangers.

Algiers is mostly a safe city , you just need to avoid shady neighbourhoods and you ll be fine , it’s also nice to have a local friend or guide to help you around , you dont have to worry about scammers cause there is almost none , when it comes to sexual harassment you should avoid crowded public transports cause a lot of men will try to get closer to you there , also prepare yourselves for the catcallers cause there are a lot , but in general it’s nice and if you dress modest in public cities and avoid attention no one will bother you , there are a lot of places where you can dress however you like and no one will say a thing so you need to know where are these spots so you could enjoy your time without being bothered. For example on public beaches you can’t wear bikinis and if you do you will get harassed cause they aren’t used to seeing women in bikinis , but if you wear it on a private beach it’s totally safe and you ll find a lot of women doing the same .
