Naama Province

Naama Province is a western Algerian region with seven administrative districts and twelve municipalities. The territory spans a broad highland area with a provincial capital connected by road networks to surrounding regions.

The province was created in 1984 when it was separated from Saida Province to form a new administrative unit. This reorganization established the boundaries and structure that define the region today.

Local people practice traditional crafts and farming methods passed down through generations. These customs shape the daily rhythms and celebrations seen throughout the communities.

The best way to explore is by road, as a network of highways connects the territory to other regions. A domestic airport in Mecheria allows visitors to arrive quickly and reach different towns across the province.

The territory contains a large salt flat known as a sabkha that shapes the landscape. This waterlogged salt formation influences the environment and represents an unusual geological feature that visitors can observe.
