Biskra Province, Administrative province in northeastern Algeria
The province extends across arid landscapes with mountain ranges in the north and desert terrain in the south, encompassing numerous oases and palm groves.
The region became a formal province in 1974, created from sections of the Oasis department and Batna, before undergoing territorial modifications in 1984.
The province maintains strong connections to Berber heritage through local traditions, while cultivating date palms remains central to community practices.
The capital city of Biskra connects to other major Algerian centers through an established network of roads, railways, and regional transportation services.
The district of Tolga produces premium Deglet Nour dates, which grow in extensive palm groves irrigated by traditional water distribution systems.
