What are the pros and cons of living in Blida?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Blida responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Blida, often appreciate the city's rich history, beautiful architecture, and stunning natural surroundings, such as the Chréa National Park and the Atlas Mountains. They also enjoy the local cuisine, friendly locals, and the relatively low cost of living. However, they may dislike the lack of infrastructure and amenities that cater specifically to expats and digital nomads, such as coworking spaces and international schools. Additionally, they may find the internet connectivity to be unreliable and slow, which can be a significant challenge for remote workers. The language barrier can also be an issue, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Arabic or French may be necessary to navigate daily life. Lastly, expats and digital nomads may find the bureaucracy and visa processes to be complicated and time-consuming," said one expat in living in Blida, Algeria.
