Algerian sword types ?

Are there any curved sword types particular to Algeria. I ask, as I am to make a replica of a curved sword for a belly dancer. Now, this is my interest, as the dancer's heritage is Algeria, I thought it would be nice to supply a prop which reflects the person's heritage and dance tutorage. If not, I will have to go back to the original plan of a mamluke inspired scimitar, but if there is something it would be a nice tribute.
