Algiers Although there are not many specific sights in Algiers, the city is quite pretty. Most of the old buildings are found in the Casbah. The Casbah of Algiers is small, but in the houses towering over the narrow winding streets about 100.000 people live. The area has a long histroy of popular unrest: the Algerian war of independence started here. During the years that followed the annulation of the elective process the FIS was set to win, the area became rather unsafe. Foreigners were advised not to visit the Casbah. Things seem a bit better now, and the Casbah is still one of the most interesting parts of the city. The thing to do in the casbah is just to wander around the small streets and enjoy the medieval atmosphere.
