SidiBelAbbès, Algeria

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Sidi Bel Abbès is famous as the historical headquarters of the French Foreign Legion — it was literally built as a Legion city and that history gives it a distinctly different character than other Algerian cities. The city is in the northwest near Oran and benefits from the regional culture's relative openness. Being foreign here has a specific historical resonance that people know about and find interesting.

Mid score (6-8)

Sidi Bel Abbès has the Foreign Legion history but that's mostly a tourism talking point now — the actual city is a mid-sized northwestern Algerian urban center with the usual family-conservative social structure. Interesting historical context, limited social opportunity for an outsider.

Lower score (below 6)

Sidi Bel Abbès is a provincial northwestern city where the Foreign Legion history is interesting but doesn't change the conservative social reality. Standard Algerian provincial norms apply.
