Its an Arabic name which means “the father of happiness” or “city of happiness” It is to some extent a museum of the Sahara and Top-Plates, of which it contains all the elements”, offering “a synthesis of almost Saharan life”, a “postcard of the desert”, with “all that it is necessary to combine authenticates the illusion and it”, explain the tourist guides. In fact, a city built on a height, an amphitheatre, a true circus surrounded at its base by gardens of palm trees. A typical Ksar in a beautiful terrace.

An island in the middle of an ocean of sends.which cuts out on “the croup of the bluish mountains of which the feet are inserted in extreme sands of Hodna.   The Ksar even is divided him into several districts corresponding to the seven principal fractions of Saharan tribes, with the traditional houses of *Toub*enclose high walls and all surmounted by a terrace. The Wadi runs with its feet in a bed deeply boxed between banks. “The small valley of Bou-Saâda which brings the river to the gardens is marvelous like a landscape of dream.It descends full with date palms, fig trees, of large splendid plants,between two mountains whose tops are red, the river, along this ravine, runs and sings.

Let us recognize that Bou-Saâda is perhaps the only largest city of the Agerian South to offer a complete organization of great tourism. A range of hotels for all the purses, energy of modest but proper establishment with many hotels like the Hotel of *Caïd*.This last is particularly remarkable by its local framework and especially, made single in hotel annals of North Africa, by the private swimming pool of its gardens; not a pond with ducks, but a genuine basin of championship with modern diving board. The festivals of night particularly are successful there, especially when, on their thick pile wool carpets, Ouled-Naïl form this coloured fringe which is reflected in water.

Mill Ferrero

..........................

To finish this overall picture, we will not forget the “Mill Ferrero”, a very picturesque place, near to Bou-Saâda (2 km). A mill, dilapidated a little, is built in a procession of canyons of the happiest effect; a fresh water runs, winter like summer, along a splendid garden. Remain dreamed for misanthropist,the Ferrero Mill seems a place of ideal rest in the middle of the fields of violets and the trees of all gasolines, along the Wadi. It is in this place that the American and French scenario writers turned of the scenes of “Samson and Dalila” and “of Man to Man”. Excellent impression of “throats lost in the aridity of the desert.In Bou-Saâda, they still travel on the back of camels, the gazelles, the traditional foods of the South (chorba, Barboucha, couscous), the qualified guides, the races of camels . Thus a visit to Bou-Saâda can become a pretext to traverse other Algerian areas, in a country which abounds in tourist beauties.
