Salam Alykoum. I am visiting my husband's family in Algiers. I am looking for ideas for authentic Algerian shopping experiences in or near Algiers. I would like to buy plus sized clothes typical Algerian style as well as Algerian crafts and Fabric to take back home to USA. I am looking for good prices not expensive. Any ideas would be helpful. Also is there a large grocery store or something similar to Target or Walmart? Shoukran.

Hello,

Can't speak for the other stuff, but there are a couple large stores similar to Wal-Mart and Target.

One is called Ardis and it is down the street from the Hilton. The other is Uno at the Bab Azzouar center.

Prices on things like cereal and coffee are similar to the US. Quality is generally a bit lower. Selection is decent, but common items like peanut butter and Ziploc bags are extremely hard to find.

Good luck,

Adam

Thought I would update all on my visits to Uno and Ardis.I found Ardis easier to get to, to park, etc and the selection seemed a bit better. I went to both on the same day and I was not expecting it to literally take the entire day. I live on the opposite side of Algiers. Still not used to all the people, traffic, etc. I was completely overwhelmed inside the grocery stores. In all, I'm glad we went but won't make the journey again!
