Sina Paris 2026: The Algerian Real Estate Expo in France (23-25 Oct)

Sina Paris 2026: the Algerian real estate expo returns to Paris, 23-25 October

It is the longest-running and most established event of its kind: Sina Paris, the Algerian real estate expo in France, returns to Paris on 23, 24 and 25 October 2026, at Espace Charenton in the 12th arrondissement.

Over three days, Algerian property developers, experts and industry partners come to meet the diaspora. The idea has not changed since the first edition: to let an Algerian living in France, Belgium or Switzerland compare several housing programmes in Algeria, speak directly to the developers and ask every question — without getting on a plane.

Worth noting: entry is free, but registration is mandatory and places are limited. That is the main thing to watch if you plan to attend.

Getting to Espace Charenton

By car: ring road, Porte de Charenton or Porte de Bercy exits

The venue is around twenty minutes from central Paris, which makes it an easy meeting point for visitors coming from anywhere in the Île-de-France region or further afield.

What is Sina Paris?

Sina Paris is organised by Sina Events, which runs the same concept in several cities with large Algerian communities — Paris, Montreal and London. The Paris edition is the flagship and the oldest.

The starting point is familiar to anyone who has tried to buy in Algeria from abroad: information online is hard to verify, not every intermediary is transparent, and taking time off work purely to go and look at construction sites is difficult. As a result, plenty of projects stay on hold for years.

The expo compresses that stage. In a single day on site, you see the floor plans, compare prices and delivery timelines, and speak to the teams who are actually selling the programmes.

What you will find at the expo

Algerian property developers, face to face

This is the core of the event. Instead of exchanging WhatsApp messages with a sales rep you have never met, you talk directly to the teams behind the programmes you are interested in. The questions that stay vague at a distance — how far along the site actually is, what the advertised price really covers, what happens if there is a delay — get settled in a few minutes of conversation.

Several comparable programmes in one visit

Previous editions have brought together developers operating in different wilayas, which lets you compare projects you would otherwise have to visit separately, hundreds of kilometres apart. If you are still hesitating between two cities, this is the ideal format.

Advice tailored to your situation

Buying property from abroad raises specific questions: payment terms, guarantees, administrative procedures, non-resident status. The expo format favours one-to-one conversation, so you can discuss your actual case rather than generalities.

Projects sometimes revealed in preview

Some developers use the expo to unveil new programmes or terms reserved for visitors. If you follow the market, it is a chance to see projects before they go on wider sale.

Registration: free, but mandatory

This is the key difference with other expos of the same type, and the thing not to miss. Access to Sina Paris is free, but you must register in advance on the organiser's official website: places are capped to keep the quality of conversations high.

Registering early has three concrete advantages:

You secure your place — demand rises sharply as the event approaches;
You receive practical information beforehand (exact opening hours, access, announced exhibitors);
You have time to prepare your questions and priorities rather than discovering the expo on the day.

Who is the expo for?

Families looking for a home in Algeria — for holidays, to house a relative, or with an eventual return in mind.
Investors seeking a rental property or an opportunity in a fast-developing wilaya.
First-time buyers who want to understand how off-plan purchase (VSP) works before committing.
Future retirees preparing a base or a move back home.
Industry professionals — agencies, architects, design offices — attending for business meetings.

The expo is not only for people living in France: visitors regularly come from Belgium, Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe, Paris being the most accessible meeting point.

The 2026 calendar of Algerian real estate expos in France

Sina Paris is no longer the only event of its kind. Autumn 2026 is a particularly busy season for the diaspora:

Expo	Dates	City
SPIA Lyon	18-20 September 2026	Lyon (Parilly Racecourse)
SPIA Lille	25-27 September 2026	Lille (Bazaar St So)
Sina Paris	23-25 October 2026	Paris (Espace Charenton)

If you are seriously committed to a project, attending two makes sense: use the first to get a feel for the market and identify the players, and come back to the second with precise questions and a shortlist. We have written a full guide to SPIA 2026 in Lyon and Lille if you want to compare the two events.

Preparing your visit: a checklist

Three days sounds like plenty, but a busy stand draws a crowd fast and conversations often come down to a few minutes. What you prepare beforehand determines what you get out of it.

Register now. It is the first step, and the only blocking one.
Set your budget in both dinars and euros. The gap between the two currencies is the number one source of misunderstanding with a sales rep.
Pick two or three target wilayas. Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Béjaïa, Sétif, Tlemcen: prices, timelines and market dynamics are nothing alike from one wilaya to the next.
Scout programmes online before you go. You will know the going rates and will spot an unusual offer immediately.
Always check: building permit obtained, developer's licence, completion guarantee, contractual delivery date, late penalties, price per square metre with or without finishes, and exactly what the off-plan contract covers.
Don't pay anything on site. An expo is a place to make contact. No serious project will vanish because you took a week to think it over — and a notary should review any document before you sign.
Collect direct contacts. Sales rep's name, WhatsApp number, office address in Algeria: that is what will serve you in the months that follow.
Allow enough time. Saturday is usually the busiest day; Friday or Sunday morning tend to offer calmer conversations.

Prepare your visit with Souknati

This is exactly where Souknati saves you time. Our platform lists new-build developments across Algeria, wilaya by wilaya, with projects, unit types, prices and developer contact details.

In practice, before Sina Paris, Souknati lets you:

Get a feel for real prices in the wilayas you care about, so you are not discovering the going rate at the moment a sales rep quotes you a figure;
Identify the developers active in your target area, and arrive with a shortlist of stands;
Compare unit types (F2, F3, F4, duplex) and their floor areas, to sharpen what you are actually looking for.

How to use search on Souknati

Search is built to get you straight to the point, in three steps:

Choose your wilaya. This is the main filter and the starting point of any serious search. You immediately get every new-build project listed in that wilaya.
Narrow it down with filters. Property type, budget, municipality or developer: you cut the list down to the projects that genuinely fit your situation.
Open the project pages. Each development has its own detailed page: map location, description, available unit types and the developer's direct contact, with no middleman.

A few shortcuts to get started right away:

💡 The smart move: shortlist your projects on Souknati before the expo, note the developers' names, then go and meet them at Espace Charenton. You will spend your day asking real questions instead of discovering the market.

What happens after the expo?

Sina Paris lasts three days; buying a property plays out over months. Once you are back home, the practical questions begin: is that programme still available? Is construction progressing? What else is being built in the same municipality?

Souknati stays available around the clock, from France as well as from Algeria. You can find the developers you met at the expo, follow the projects you liked, and widen your search to other wilayas without waiting for the next expo season.
