Things to Do
Some of the great
things to do and enjoy with in Algiers are:
·
Shopping: Algeries is a great place for shopping lovers. If you are one of them
then you can find enough for satisfying the urge of being in high profile
markets and souks. Here everything is available – from jewelry to clothes, and
from cosmetics to souvenirs. Possible souvenirs include leather-ware, rugs,
copper and brass-ware. Embroidered dresses are made in large number and they are
known as mejboudi. For shoppers, leather-made products are available in large
number because Algiers is known for its leather all over the world. If you are
in street markets, then you have to bargain a lot because prices are usually
very high. I recommend to visit the rue Didouche Mourad which is the best
shopping street in Algiers. The ideal shopping hours are Sat-Thursday 0900-1200
and 1400-1900. Mostly shops remain closed on Fridays.
·
Nightlife: nightlight in Algiers is a wonderful experience you must give a try to.
The main towns have plenty of nightclubs and bars for entertainment lovers.
Some of the best tourist hangouts are Zeralda, and Sidi Fredj – where clubs
cater to party animals.
·
Enjoy time at beaches: swimming is what you should not miss when you are
in Algiers. Many people take advantage of the sunny weather, hot temperature
and beautiful Mediterranean coastline, and visit the popular beaches of the
city. These mostly reside in the east of the Turquoise Coast. Some great beach
resorts are around the Oran region, such as Ain El Turk, Les Andalouses,
Canastel, Mostaganem and Sablettes.
·
Explore Ancient Constantine: Get amazed with the beauty of Constantine! Situated
in the east of Algeria, Constantine is a natural citadel that lies across the
River Rhumnel. This came into being under the supervision of the Carthaginians.
·
Dune skiing: dune skiing is another thing you must do in Algiers.
This makes sense if you have viewed the Saharan sand dunes. You would not be
able to stop yourself from getting amazed with dune skiing during your stay in
Algiers.
So, if you want an
off the beaten track idea for your holidays, then Algiers is the right option
for you. This, being the 2nd oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, remains full
