Contributors: Andrew W. Arabic is the official language; Berber is the national language. French is also spoken because of over a century of French rule.

Bordj el Kiffan, Algiers Region, Algeria
A fantastic night market, selling all sorts of gifts, bags, clothes, sand paintings -highly recommend the sand painting stall, handmade jewellery and crockery.
You will not starve here, there is meshwee (grilled meats) restaurants and fish restaurants (all fresh caught fish). Amazing food at amazingly cheap prices ... we paid around £20 for 6 adults and 9 children to eat at a meshwee restaurant.

If you are traveling by road, this is the last place you can buy cold coke for about a thousand miles. Like washboard? Get ready.

If you have to spend a night here, as I did in 1974, and it is 90 degrees at 2 in the morning, here is a tip-- go into the bathroom and fill the bucket there with water from the tub or shower.. then flood your floor and put your mattress on the ground.. it'll cool things off a tad.

A great place to get fuel!
