Naama Province

Naama Province extends across 29,950 square kilometers at an elevation of 1098 meters, featuring seven administrative districts and twelve municipalities.

The province originated from a territorial division in 1984 when authorities separated it from Saida Province to establish a new administrative region.

Local communities maintain traditional craft-making practices, agricultural methods, and regional festivities that represent the province's social heritage.

The provincial capital connects to other regions through a network of roads, with an airport in Mecheria serving domestic transportation needs.

The territory contains a large sabkha, a salt flat formation that characterizes the landscape and influences the local environment.
