Aïn Témouchent, Administrative center in northwestern Algeria

Situated at 296 meters above sea level, Aïn Témouchent extends through a narrow valley surrounded by vineyards and orchards in northwestern Algeria.

Founded in 1851 by Spanish settlers, the city was constructed upon the remains of Roman Albulae and the Arab settlement of Ksar ibn Senar.

The local markets of Aïn Témouchent display a combination of Arab and Berber traditions through food, crafts, and social practices.

The city connects to Oran through a 72-kilometer road network, providing access to one of Algeria's largest metropolitan areas.

Following the 1999 earthquake, Aïn Témouchent underwent substantial reconstruction, resulting in new urban developments including a hospital and public gardens.
