Bouira Province

The province extends over 4,439 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from mountain ranges to agricultural lands across twelve distinct districts.

The territory, established as a province in 1974, emerged from the administrative reorganization of the former regions of Médéa and Tizi-Ouzou.

The province contains forty-five municipalities where residents maintain agricultural traditions, particularly in olive cultivation and local food production.

A network of national roads, including the RN5 and RN30, connects the province's districts to major urban centers throughout northern Algeria.

The province houses two significant water management structures, the Koudiat Acerdoune and Tilesdit dams, which supply water to multiple regions.
