No, Aluminium (or aluminum) is non-magnetic and so the magnet will not stick to it. There are several products of aluminum, esp. in aerospace industry because of its light weight and high strength/weight ratio. Many light weight cooking utensils are also made of anodised aluminum.
Austenitic stainless steel is also non-magnetic but is generally highly poilshed and is heavier.
Ah yes, the foil that is used to wrap some food items is generally made of aluminum.

Aluminium is paramgnetic that means it will require a sufficiently strong field to attract aluminium but it can surely be magnetised
