Kouba, Suburban commune in Hussein Dey District, Algeria
Located 6 kilometers southeast of central Algiers, Kouba extends across elevated terrain at an average altitude of 125 meters above sea level.
The French administration established Kouba as an official commune in 1856, following the settlement of European colonists in the early nineteenth century.
The name Kouba originates from the Arabic word Qubba, referencing a green-domed mosque constructed by Brahim Pacha in 1543.
The municipality contains 28 primary schools, multiple secondary institutions, and medical facilities including the Bachir Mentouri hospital.
A historic tramway line connected Kouba to the Champ de Manœuvres area in 1905, marking the first major transportation development in the region.
