are likely to live in apartments or villas, while expats working in the more remote oilfields will likely
live within secure compounds managed by their company.
Types of accommodation in Algeria
Algerian cities offer several different types of accommodation, including studios, apartments and
villas. Both furnished and unfurnished accommodation is available, with the former being more

Security is always an important consideration when searching for accommodation in Algeria.
Those that work in the oilfields, in particular, will likely be housed in compound accommodation
that is heavily secured.

market and residential neighbourhoods, the best option is to engage the services of a local realestate agent. Most expats moving to Algeria can also rely on the assistance of their employer in
the housing search.
