Djelfa Province

Djelfa Province spans across 66,415 square kilometers of varied terrain, from steppe-like plains in the north to Saharan landscapes in the south.

The province was formed in 1974 through a territorial reorganization that combined parts of Batna, Médéa, Oasis department, and Tiaret department.

The region contains numerous Neolithic rock carvings dating from 7000 to 5000 BC, presenting evidence of early human settlements in North Africa.

The province includes twelve districts and thirty-six municipalities, with the capital city Djelfa serving as the main economic and administrative center.

The Rocher de Sel formation north of Djelfa city displays geological formations created by rain erosion of rock salts and marls.
