What do expats in Algeria appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Algeria. They wrote...
"Learning that I am so lucky to have the things I have. Not wasting food. Being kinder to people and not being so selfish. Taking on board that in society women and men each have a role and this is very important for marriage ( i was such an independant feminist in the past...)," remarked another expat who made the move to Algiers, Algeria.
"Family stick together strongly, and acceptance here is high between family members. Doesn't matter how troublemaker you are, or how bad is your personality, or how strange is your idea, your family especially parents will always love you, accept you, and support you unconditionally," explained one expat living in Annaba, Algeria.
