Zaatcha, Historic oasis in Biskra District, Algeria
Located 30 kilometers west of Biskra city, Zaatcha oasis extends along National Road 46 between the localities of Tolga and Lichana.
The oasis gained military significance during the November 1849 battle, where General Herbillon's African Army confronted insurgents led by Sheikh Ahmed Bouziane.
The oasis represents a symbol of Algerian resistance against colonial occupation, with approximately 3,000 casualties from both sides during the 1849 conflict.
Visitors reach the oasis through National Road 46, which connects the cities of Biskra and Bou Saada in northern Algeria.
The site combines military remnants from the colonial period with traditional Saharan agricultural practices and water management systems.
