Afternoon tea and Sweets.

  • I have seen others comment on the mint tea, try this with the homemade sweets, what a great way to end the day. Late dinners are the norm, but the food is all great. Light dinners are better since you eat a large lunch and have tea around 5.

    Clothing attire

  • Remember, my information dates from years ago...

    Women wore a veil, white or beige, (most of them) Some women were covering their body and the top of their head; some showing only their eyes and others only showing one eye.

    When my grandmother came over for a month's visit with my cousin, my cousin was a tall blond 16 year old wearing jean shorts and a top. Some man pinched her butt and one spat at her...You may want to wear discrete clothing out in public.

  • This music originally started in Oran. It is fun to listen to and very popular now. Famous singers include Cheb Emami, Cheb Khaled, etc.

    It takes a little time to prepare, but it's lovely. The Algerian cous cous is not spicy, but more fruity than that of her neighbouring countries.
    The scarf is only to keep one's hair out of the food.
