Bou Saada, Desert oasis settlement in M'Sila Province, Algeria.
The municipality stretches along the left bank of Bou Saada Wadi, with mountains rising on one side and salt marshes extending on the other.
The town developed into two distinct sections: the original medina within ancient walls and a southern quarter established during the French colonial period.
The local marketplace maintains traditions of craftsmanship, particularly in jewelry making, metalwork, carpet weaving, and the production of bousaadi knives.
Located 245 kilometers south of Algiers, the town connects to major centers through a network of roads linking M'Sila, Biskra, and Djelfa.
The Zaouïa complex includes educational facilities, religious structures, and a mausoleum that preserves the legacy of Sidi Mohammed Ben Belqacem from 1823.
