What do I need to know about living in Algiers?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Algiers, they said:

"Expats considering retiring in Algiers should familiarize themselves with the city and its cultural norms. Healthcare services in Algeria are basic and it is recommended that expats research private healthcare options. Expats should also check what visa they require and familiarize themselves with Algier's laws, regulations and tax requirements. As Algeria is an Islamic country, expats should dress conservatively and abide by the local customs. English is not widely spoken and expats should learn the local language, Arabic, to ensure smoother integration. Private housing can be difficult and expensive to find but renting an apartment is a possible option. Finally, expats in Algiers should ensure they have an up-to-date passport and travel documents," said one expat in Algiers, Algeria.
