Aurès Mountains

The Aurès Mountains are a rugged mountain range in northeastern Algeria, forming part of the Saharan Atlas. Known for their steep, rocky terrain and dramatic landscapes, they feature deep valleys, lush oases, and traditional Berber villages. The mountains are historically significant as a cultural and geographical barrier, shaping the local Berber communities and their way of life. They also host diverse flora and fauna and have cultural landmarks that reflect centuries of Berber heritage. The Aurès Mountains serve as both a natural frontier and a vital part of Algeria’s historical and ecological identity.
