Thank you Sleham1,  I am now searching for the prices per month for electricity, water, gaz, telephone, internetconnection and prices of furniture, electrical equipment .............

How much would it cost for me to get my driving license?? I had a license for 30 years and let it expire (stupid me), because of bureaucracy I have to take exams again here in Greece.  I think I better do that in Algeria as well.

Hi Karina, take my skype and my email i will share all required information details

Hello djaafar amine and sleham1,

Just as Stumpy pointed out in his post, this is the English speaking forum of Algiers and it is better if you could post your messages in English only. This will enable everyone else to understand you and interact with you as well.

You can also participate on the French speaking forum of Algiers

I also invite you to have a look at the  ALGERIA FORUM CODE OF CONDUCT for more information.

Thank you,

hi welcome to algeria, you can use ouedkniss website there you can find renting appartets and car

.www.ouedkniss.com

i work for british council of algeira if you need any help  you can ask me .peace..

Thank you Moutazz.  I had a look on ouedkniss website.  Great differences in prices and mainly appartments for sale.  Also, I do not see many pictures.  I guess that I should first come over there and take a week or two, have a look at the appartments offered and negotiate prices

Hi there,
Am Egyptian and am moving to algeria with my husband i wanted to know how can i rent a small appartement in alger ? What are the rent price range we can afford to pay 350 $ - 400$
I like to pay month by month not a year in advance is that available?

Hi Nadine and I Welcome to Algiers . I m new in the city but will try yo help you according to my short experience here .

1- advertised prices through papers and website are much higher then real prices . mostly they are undeclared brokers who are trying to earn some extra money while they are drinking their coffee .

2- Never go through agencies as they will just increase the price without bringing any added Value or facilities . try to contact owners directly and do to forget to negotiate ( guess that Egyptians are master in this  )

3- Never pay in money in advance , once you reach an agreement with owner . pay him in in front of public notary and get copy of your contract and his contact details .

4 - rent here is paid annually . in other words you need to pay the full year once in advance . however you can find some rental flats for short period but it will be bit higher then annual contract .

5- Budget of 400 USD is fair enough to get decent flat in good location . but first try to see your husband work place then you target the area according to that . never say you are coming from abroad say you have just changed the city and its not your first time in Algiers ( just as precaution mesure )

thats all in case you need more details , let me know and will try to help you . again welcome to Algiers .

Cheers ,

Malik
