Algeria Culture, Way of Life, Algerian Religion and Customs

The culture of Algeria is largely influenced by the history, literature, music, crafts, religion and different arts.




The primary language spoken by almost all Algerians is Arabic, this also tells you more about the religion. Of course Islam. The language spoken by the educated Algerians is French. You will find few individuals able to speak English.

The diversity in the culture is largely as a result of the various Ethnic groups in the mainland of Algeria. As for religion, Islam is the official religion that took its toll as soon as the French colonialists left. There are some Christians in this country as well and 1 percent Jewish.

Meeting & Greeting

o Algerians greet each other with lengthy affairs.
o In addition to the handshake one is obliged to ask about family, work, the house, the weather, etc.
o This is all part of cementing a relationship and showing concern for others.
o You may see people continue to hold hands after the initial handshake is a sign of warmth.
o Friends and family will also exchange kisses on the check.
o When meeting women initially nod and wait to see if a hand is extended.
o Avoid prolonged eye contact with women and do not ask personal questions.
o For women visiting Algeria note that religious men may not shake your hands – this is not a sign of disrespect but quite the opposite.




Names and Titles
