First edition of the Algerian Couscous Festival

Hello everyone.....

Under the aegis of the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts, the #AlgerianKsiksFestival was held for the first time at the #Asian hotel on April 11 and 12, 2025, coinciding with the weekend break.

This was a professional and family-friendly occasion, during which we discovered the most delicious dishes associated with the #Alaski dish in all its variations.

The objective of organizing this event is to highlight #Couscous as a symbol of identity and cultural diversity, as well as the richness of our traditional cuisine, and to attract international attention to the wealth of our national heritage.

Alaski is an essential element of Algerian identity, especially after being included in UNESCO's World Heritage List.
