El Riadh Hotel Algiers

... on the 3rd floor. The room was very good but it had one flaw..The roof of the hotel lobby is up to 2nd floor and my room was just on it. So all I could view from my window is a huge grey roof in front of me. However, upon my request, the room is now changed to 11th floor so I have a better view now. From the official sources we learned that, it may not be possible for them to extend my visa from inside Algeria. I have to extend my visa before our planned ...

So after arriving here, we did not find much to do. Specially, the hotel where we are living, is almost 30 KM away from downtown and Taxi is something that you will not find easily here, so we are almost confined here in the evening. We usually go to the office and after return, have nothing to do except a short stroll on the cournice. The area as called some thing like "Flor-Du-Lu" and just by the sea. People says that this area is live till midnight in the summer, but the ...

... road from Airport to the hotel is beautiful. We noticed one particular thing of Algerian Driving.. The drivers are really careful and always eady to give way to other cars and padestrians. After staying at Cairo for three months, it's a strange thing for us.. (The drivers of Cairo are Crazy.. and do not care to give way to anybody and always are at speed more then 100KM) . The hotel is a small one just by the mediterrain sea. We got a nice little ...

Apparently they forgot that its their own %$#ing currency. Off to the bottle....and my tourmates...stay tuned for more later. : )

Accueil à l'aéroport sans aucun panneau - dans un pays réputé pour ses pb de sécurité, ça commence bien... Passage par un bureau de passage au siège de la société. Rien à faire qu'attendre "l'escort" 2 heures de route au Sud d'Alger, sous escort: un business entretenu pour les sociétés internationales par les autorités locales sans doute. Des flics partout - jamais vu autant

... who become guides and allow you to find the most interesting things to visit without loosing too much time in the difficult narrow streets. The food is tasty and you can try different specialties,like tagine chicken and not only the famous couscous. Try the local red wine and the palm liqueur. It is amazing to walk in the great square of Jemaa l-Fna in Marrakesh looking at the snake-charmers , the water sellers, the storytellers, the musicians and trying to eat some ...

... several of us had never been to his Algiers home, including myself. It was good to see where this all started, and even better to see it continuing strong. If you want to learn where Common Ground came from, you can read Malik's original opEd from September 1, 2005. Much has changed since that time, but much has remained the same.

... air in the deep south of this giant country, one of the biggest in Africa. From this strange town, in the dry and stone desert, with its houses surrounded by walls we started our tour in the desert by two 4x4 landrovers, our funny arab cooker and two tuareg drivers. The tour was very interesting: we visited canyons, stone valleys, met many pinnacles and red mountains, a lot of pre-historic paintings on the walls ...
