Didouche Mourad

The main shopping road in Algiers features numerous craft stores and art galleries. Many small or big shops can be found along this French-style street, which also provides a great offer of special souvenirs.

Shopping

Dive into the colourful fabrics and wonderful garments of Algerian culture. Traditional clothes are woven with great dexterity and make an ideal souvenir from the region. Also carpets and jewels are popular and can be found on every second corner in the city centre. For local woodwork and art work, you should try to drop into one of the galleries: you might even catch an artist at work and ask him questions about local craft. Keep in mind that stores might stay closed on Fridays, as it is common in many Islamic countries.
