Ksar Boukhari (Ksar el Boukhari)
The old walled quarter is on a hill overlooking the main modern town. Ksar el-Boukhari is a commercial centre for pastoral peoples of the interior of Algeria, who trade in wool, livestock and cereals. It also supports a local carpet industry.
Immediately northwest is the village and fort of Boghar (Balcon du Sud), a strategic command post.

Algeria produced and is linked to many civilizations, empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Rustamids, Idrisids, Aghlabids, Fatimids, Zirids, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Zayyanids, Spaniards, Ottomans and the French colonial empire, with the latter expanded into its present-boundaries. After 132 years of being part of France, tensions between France and the local Algerian populace led to the start of the Algerian War which concluded with Algeria obtaining its independence on 5 July 1962 with the establishment of the People's Democratic Republic on 20 September of that year.
