Hilton Alger Algiers

... at a local restaurant to prepare omelet in Bangladeshi style. Here the Algerian food is damn good. However, Bangla food is best for our Bangladeshi tongs.. We miss the food that two of our colleagues regularly cooked voluntarily during our Cairo stay. The other change that happened is our residence. We have moved to Mercure Hotel, which is very near to our office. This is a very good hotel with all the modern facilities. When we moved in, I was initially allotted a ...

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.

... 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.
