El Tarf Province, Province with Mediterranean coast in northeastern Algeria

El Tarf Province extends across 3,339 square kilometers of varied terrain, from Mediterranean shores to inland agricultural regions, with El Taref as its capital city.

The province emerged through administrative reorganization in 1984, when authorities divided portions of Annaba Province and Guelma Province to establish this new territory.

The local population maintains traditional fishing methods along the Mediterranean coast while integrating agricultural practices that sustain the regional economy.

Seven districts compose the province, including Ben M'Hidi, Besbes, Bouhadjar, Boutheldja, Dréan, El Kala, and El Taref, each with distinct administrative functions.

A power station construction project initiated in 2008 by General Electric and Iberdrola aims to increase Algeria's national energy capacity by eighteen percent.
