Oran to Algiers

Unintentional.

No images in this one. The reason will become clear.

If you know me, you’ll know that I mostly dress in black. Nothing fancy, just H&M or Uniqlo. Maybe some Burton, Nike, or Hurley for the outerwear.

But what you probably don’t know (I didn’t) is that the airport in Oran, Algeria has two terminals. One terminal is for international flights, and the other is for domestic flights. So, if you’re flying from Oran to Algiers, you’ll use the domestic terminal.

So, I’m just wearing my usual basic black clothing, with an added Raiders hat listing no city. No problem, who cares most of the time.

But what I also didn’t know is that the Hajj flights depart from the domestic terminal.

Everyone was really nice to me, clearly understanding that I was clueless. But I was dressed like a pirate amongst the pilgrims, who dress all in white.
