Everything on this page is aimed at one thing: getting from where you are to where you want to be, and paying the right amount when you arrive. الحانوت is the shop on the corner, البوستة is the post office, and a تاكسي may be a proper one or a shared car going your way.
One thing worth knowing before you need it: Algerians very often quote prices in older units by habit, so a number can mean something different from what it says. Ask, and nobody will mind.
