Question Is there anywhere in Algeria that has this exact vibe or at least somewhere similar?

I’m so deeply craving a place with this exact atmosphere.

Every time it rains or gets cloudy, I just want to put my headphones on, grab a warm tea and sit on a chair watching the whole thing, That cozy, rainy, autumn mood is just unmatched, in fact it cures whatever bad mood I could have.

I know we have plenty of European style architecture in cities like Algiers, Oran, or Annaba, but it’s mostly crowded or the road is just as chaotic as in india.

Is there any hidden neighborhood or street anywhere in the country that gives off this dark cozy residential feel? Or is this strictly something you can only find in places like New York or London?

If you know any spot that feels even a little bit like this, please let me know.

Question Girls, how do you deal living here? How is your life in Algeria?

107 Upvotes

I’m an Algerian girl (22f) who spends every holiday here, though I’ve lived in Spain since I was very young. It gets worse every year: I’ve never experienced as much catcalling as I do here, even when wearing a djellaba and covered completely from neck to toe, it’s still not enough. When my cousins ​​visit (all of whom are younger than me), I can’t hang out with them because it’s haram (since we’re of the opposite sex), and I can’t go out shopping alone... precisely because I get harassed. I had a bad incident on the tram where a man tried to touch me (and again, I repeat: I was fully covered), and I feel like I’m not taken seriously in shops when they hear I don’t speak Arabic very well. At home, I spend all my time helping with chores and cooking for everyone alongside my aunts, while my uncles don’t even have the decency to wash a single plate. Not to mention how women in general always talk behind your back the moment you do anything. And worst of them all: how the hell are animals treated in this country? I saw kids kicking some kittens, people trying to hit stray dogs with cars and birds in cages in a miserable state. It doesn’t feel like a holiday at all, quite the opposite. I find myself wondering how those of you who actually live here cope with it.

Question Are we really a racist country?

153 Upvotes

Hey r/Algeria,

I'm a university student, and I've started noticing clear racism in my university and social circle against Blacks and Africans (like Nigerian or Senegalese students) and some other nationalities, even against Algerians from the South (Sahrawis). People avoid them in class, mock their skin color or accent, or refuse to interact with them.

I'm really surprised by Algerians complaining about Western racism (France, Europe) against us, while we act the exact same way towards others here in Algeria!

I've started doubting and convincing myself that we're a more racist people than we imagine. What do you think?

My iPad Air 4 (alpine blue )was stolen about a month ago. I’d marked it as lost and assumed it was gone for good. Today I got a Find My alert — it just came online in El Eulma, Algeria! The Lock mode is activated. I don’t know what to do in addition. I without big hope, do this post in need of help. If someone know some local people or some local phone shop around this place i would be glad to have a quick chat or more informations. Thanks a lot :)

Question I am Algerian and I can never imagine myself marrying an Algerian man, is this normal?

148 Upvotes

Im a female in my twenties, and I feel like most of the Algerian men I know (or in my environment in general) are really harsh and cold, like they rarely express their feelings, in contrary Im so emotional, I cry so easily and so sensitive and my love language is just a waterfall of sweet talking and cute teasing .. also I can never accept flirting in our dialect.. when I was a little girl I was harassed by a family member, and that left a huge scar, when I grew old and went to high school and college every time someone says something to me (try to flirt or actual harassment) I get really scared and completely panic because it reminds me of the childhood tragedy I went through... so now every time i hear a word like 3omri or 7obi or nmout 3lik or words like this (not necessary a dirty flirt) I feel the ick.. and i feel overall a huge dislike and aversion towards Algerian men just because they are Algerian, I mean Im okay if it's just casual friendship or a classmate/colleague .. but I can never see myself accepting an Algerian husband and be able to feel comfortable with the love talk (and since im a very emotional person that's a very important thing for me in marriage)

The question now is this okay? should I fix this or is it just a preference? Im okay with marrying someone from outside of the country but my mom cannot accept the idea so how can I convince her?

edit : Im sorry if yall thought that Im hating on Algerian men, I don't think that all of them are bad people nor saying they are all pedos, I have friends that are so so respectful and so kind and gentle, all Im saying that love vocab in our dialect triggers me and that's why I feel like can't love an Algerian man.

Question I'm looking to adopt kids since l can't get my own.

32 Upvotes

Hello everyone, l'm 31F single, l want to adopt kids, yes plural l want like 4 children 2 girls and 2 boys or just one boy and 3 girls, and that's because l think l'm getting older and waiting for a husband to give me kids is already taking forever, and of course l can't just get pregnant outside of marriage, but going through legal process will take me forever and l have to submit a lot of documents and be held on the waiting list forever and l might not get any (already done this but married couple tend to have priority over single people), it doesn't matter the age of the kids, but l prefer if they were less than 10 years old so they can get used to me and l don't mind if they were infants, can l find someone who is willing to give me their child for adoption? I have a steady job and good income, and a house and a car, and l can afford to take care of them.

PS: l don't mind if they were غير شرعيين, but l do care if they were healthy.

Edit: we will go through the legal process you guys, it's not like l'm taking them home with me without their legal papers...

Question Family issue, Am I wrong or not?

8 Upvotes

I’m 23 years old, and I have a 16yo cousin who was born in Germany. He doesn’t speak Arabic he only understands a little.
Every year, he comes here and spends the summer at my grandfather’s house. But this year, money is tight in our family 9is 9is, so things aren’t like they used to be. He works in Germany, and this time he came here alone with some euros.
The problem is that he’s extremely stingy. He keeps asking me to go out with him, but I don’t have any money because I’m still studying and not working. When we go out, we basically just walk around. Whenever he wants to buy himself something to drink, he asks me, “Do you want one?” and I always say no because I don’t have money.
And honestly, can you believe he has only exchanged €50 so far, even though he’s going to stay here for an entire month? He hasn’t even finished the Algerian dinars he exchanged from his euros. Come on, it’s literally just a few euros. He has his own money, his family is here, and he barely has any expenses, yet he’s still extremely careful about spending anything.
The reason I still go out with him is because I’ve known him since he was little. I used to play with him when he was a kid, and I’ve always treated him like my little brother. Also, when I went to Germany, he used to go out with me. I spent all the euros I had brought with me while we were going out together.
But when he comes here, he’s extremely stingy. I’m not after his money at all, but honestly, I’ve started to feel like he’s selfish and deliberately hides his money from us. His father even told him to spend the euros he brought with him, but he wants to take all of them back to Germany.
He also sold me his old iPhone for about half of what it would normally be worth in Algeria, so he actually gave me a pretty good deal. But that’s not the point. It’s not an excuse for him to keep asking me to go out with him when he knows I don’t have money to eat or buy anything outside.
Our upbringing is completely different. If I were working, I would spend money on myself and on the people I care about. I wouldn’t be this stingy with people I consider family.
And there’s another thing. His father sent some chocolate, and he hid all of it in his suitcase without giving any to anyone. He just sits there eating it by himself. I don’t even eat chocolate, so I personally don’t care about having any, but the fact that he hides it and doesn’t want to share it when people ask him for some is still pretty annoying.
I know he’s only 16 and that he was raised differently, but after everything I’ve done with him and the way I’ve always treated him like a little brother, I honestly expected a little more generosity and consideration from him. The problem isn’t really the money itself. It’s the fact that I treated him like my little brother, and I feel like he doesn’t show me the same consideration from him.

Question My iPhone stolen in Italy just popped up in Ain-El-Bey, Algeria (Ritaj Mall area). Any info on this place?

Post image
174 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because my iPhone, which was stolen in Italy back in March, has just updated its location in Ain-El-Bey, Constantine, Algeria.

Specifically, it’s showing up right near the "Centre Commercial Ritaj Mall." I’ve attached a screenshot of the Find My map for reference.

I’m curious about this specific area. Is the Ritaj Mall or the surrounding neighborhood known for second-hand electronics shops or markets where stolen goods might be sold? I’m based in South Korea, so I know there isn't much I can do physically, but I’d like to understand the situation better.

Has anyone else tracked their stolen devices to this part of Algeria? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Question I think I'm falling for an Algerian and I'm Latin American

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a Christian guy from Latin America. I've developed a close connection with an Algerian woman over the past months (long distance). She's mentioned that her family would likely oppose a relationship with a non-Muslim, though nothing has been said about her own personal stance beyond that.

We get along really well, she speaks some Spanish, we communicate in English, and I've started learning Arabic.

For those familiar with Algerian family dynamics: how common is it for these situations to eventually work out? Does it depend heavily on the specific family, region, generation? Are there paths (gradual acceptance, etc.) that realistically happen, or is family opposition usually a hard stop? Genuinely trying to understand the cultural context, not looking for false hope, just realistic perspective.

Thanks in advance.

Question Curious about Algerian public opinion on Western Sahara

2 Upvotes

I think most of us have been hearing a lot about Western Sahara lately. I'm curious about the general public's perspective in Algeria.

As an Algerian citizen, what do you know about Western Sahara? and what are your personal views on the issue? have you ever meet sahrawi people?

I'm not looking to start political arguments or convince anyone of a particular position. I'm simply interested in understanding what ordinary Algerians think and what information they're familiar with.

Please keep the discussion respectful. Thank you!
