Algeria: Zoos, fairs, entertainment for kids during daylight Ramadhan fasting hours?:

This is a general request to anyone who can answer the question please. Do zoos, funfairs and any other kind of entertainment for kids remain open during daylight Ramadhan fasting hours. For example; Ramadhan this year, 2012, is probably going to be starting around 20/21 July (when the kids break up from school) and as Ramadhan is always 29 to 30 days it is important for us to know whether any entertainment such as described above will be available for children, whilst us adults are fasting Insha'Allah. A speedy response would be appreciated as it could make the difference between us visiting Algeria in Ramadhan or not. JazakAllah Khair.

Algeria: Education In Algeria for Kids:

I totally agree and you are both Algerian and we are Algerian (husband) and me (English). Trouble is Algerian men always want to go back home. However, like you accurately said don't bother unless you're going to earn v. gd money. We were only last year looking at the El Kalimat Private School but despite it's expense doesn't come across to me as a particularly good school. A friend of mine put her boys in the Saudi School which is cheaper (i think) plus the children get to learn Classical Arabic, read Quran and pres. do all the salat in school. This sounds a much better option to me, but again you need to have lots of money and somewhere to live to be able to do it. May Allah be with all those people who are attempting (we tried x 2) to move back to their Muslim country, Ameen. But as for me I think I'm staying here in the UK.

Algeria: Moving to Algeria soooon!:

Asalamualaikum, nice to hear from you. We too tried to move back to Algeria and I found it pretty much as you had! It's great for a long holiday during the Summer IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PLACE TO STAY IN. Otherwise a couple of weeks with family would Insh'Allah just about be OK. We had a terrible time there back in 2009 because my Father-in-law died and it was my first Muslim death/funeral, all a bit difficult and stressful to say the least. We were all under too much stress and I vowed NEVER to return there again. However, two and a half years later I find I'm thinking about going there for a holiday in Spring (when it's not sooh hot) providing it's not too expensive, as the boat from Marseilles is very expensive now compared to a few years ago. The Private schools teaching English there don't seem to be up to much and are very costly, specially if you have more than one or two children as we do. I think you're very sensible to return to the UK. I don't want to educate my children there but wouldn't mind InshAllah retiring there once the kids have grown up. Stay in touch, Walaikumasalam, Yasminiya

Algeria: moving to algeria next year:

Walaikumasalam, We are not sure we're definitely going to Algeria next year, at the moment our plans don't seem to be taking shape. However you can keep in touch with me, there's no harm in that insh'Allah. How are your plans going? Do you have a place to move to there or will you be living with your family? Keep in touch. May Allah (swt) be with you every step of the way. This is our third and final attempt to live in Algeria if we go. Yasminiya

Algeria: Now living in Algiers 2011:

Ws, What a lovely inspiring and positive message, mashAllah! It's lovely to get positive replies like yours! What part of Algeria are you living in? Is is Algiers? Do you bake cakes for a living? I'm hoping to relocate there next year, to Algiers insh'Allah. Please make dua for me for all to go well. Regards Yasminiya

Algeria: schools in Jijel, Algeria:

Assalamualaikum, We are seriously considering moving to Jijel in Algeria next year insha'Allah. Does anyone know what the schools are like there? Our children are aged: 13 years, 11 years, 8 years and 4 years respectively. Jazak Allah in advance for any replies.

Algeria: Need Help and Advice about moving to Algeria:

Asalamualaikum Hopeland I didn't realise that you require native speakers of English to work in the school. I am A-level English literature and English language educated and hold a GCE level B in the 'O' level. I also hold many other examinations but seem to have an inclination towards teaching, or at least that's what my family and friends say. We are thinking of re-locating to Algiers in the very near future insh'Allah. Would it be worth me coming in to see you for an interview/assessment in order to teach at one of your schools? Many thanks, Yasminiya

Algeria: possible move to jijel, algeria:

Asalamalaikum to everyone out there! Seems there are quite a few of us British ladies moved, thinking of moving... to Algeria with their husbands and children. We are hoping to move to jijel possibly in a couple of years' time insha'allah. We've already been there once and found the locals really helpful and friendly. The food is very organic, the beaches lovely and equally so is the surrounding scenery; mountains, countryside etc. Alhamdulillah! As i would be alone probably a lot of the time, with the kids at school a baby of two or three at home and my Algerian husband working. I am interested to know of any practising muslim english-speaking reverts to islam living there. On the whole jijel is a conservative part of algeria and 95% of the people there are wearing full hijab (like myself) so it is important for me to feel that 'i belong'. Walaikumasalam Yasminiya

Algeria: Seeking views on living in Algeria....:

Hello Lisa Just read your message which sounds quite sad. I would just like to ask you one question if you don't mind. "Did you go to Algeria as a Muslim revert wearing hijab or as a regular westerner?" I too am thinking of living in Algeria in the future but was a bit daunted by your message. I have four children, the eldest, my daughter is ten years old and the youngest my eight month old son. I have been married to an Algerian man for nearly 13 years.
