Aïn Defla Province

Aïn Defla is a province in northern Algeria consisting of fourteen districts and thirty-six municipalities spread across varied terrain. The region contains plains, hills, and agricultural areas with connections between all district centers.

The province was established as a separate administrative region in 1984 when Chlef Province was divided during Algeria's territorial reorganization. This restructuring followed the country's transition after independence.

The people here practice traditional farming that shapes life across communities, growing grain and fruit using methods passed down through generations. This agricultural work remains central to how locals live and connect with their land.

The province capital Aïn Deflaa connects to all district centers through functioning roads that make travel between communities possible. Visitors can move between the different areas using this basic road network.

The region includes Hammam Righa district, home to natural thermal springs that produce mineral water used by local people. Few visitors realize this geothermal resource exists in the area.
