Sidi Bel Abbès, Administrative center in Tell Atlas Mountains, Algeria.
The city extends along the Wadi Mekerra at 470 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural lands producing wheat, barley, and grapes.
French military forces established an outpost in 1843, which developed into a planned agricultural settlement by 1849 with Foreign Legion headquarters.
The tomb of Sīdī Bel ʿAbbāss, from which the city takes its name, stands as a significant religious monument for the local population.
