<p>Yes, I think it is Jupiter. The night seems cloudy, so we can rule out all the stars. Furthermore the apparent magnitude of that planet seems similar to Jupiter, -2.65. Venus has comparable magnitude, but it already had set at 10:47 pm. Saturn had southern angular seperation to the Moon whereas Jupiter perfectly fits the picture</p>

Note: It seems like Jupiter rised at 00:59 not 23:00, but Saturn which rised on time did not seem to fit the given description, so I came to conclusion</p>

<p>I'm seeing the sky at 23:00 on September 29, 2023, from the east of Algeria's point of view. To the left of the moon, there is something very bright. I need to confirm if it's Jupiter?</p>
<p>(My camera doesn't capture the brightness very well)</p>

It's Jupiter.  You might want to search for some planetarium software and browse around.  There are a alot available and a lot of fun.
