Oran Province

Oran Province extends over 2,114 square kilometers of Mediterranean coastline and inland territory, containing nine administrative districts and twenty-six municipalities.

The territory transformed from a French department into an Algerian province in 1968, following the independence, with subsequent boundary modifications occurring in 1974.

The province maintains strong connections to Mediterranean traditions through its coastal communities, agricultural practices, and administrative structures influenced by French and Arabic systems.

The provincial capital Oran connects to other regions through an international airport, seaport, and extensive road network linking all nine districts.

The province combines industrial zones in Arzew and Bethioua with agricultural areas in Boutlélis and Oued Tlélat, creating a diverse economic landscape.
