Messaad, Algeria: an oasis town on the edge of the Sahara
Messaad is an important town in the northern Algerian province of Ghardaïa, located in the southern foothills of the Saharan Atlas Mountains, about 600 kilometers from the capital city of Algiers. An oasis town on the edge of the Sahara Desert, Messaad is known for its unique geographical and ecological characteristics, with dates, cereals and vegetables widely cultivated in the surrounding area, and animal husbandry (camels, sheep) as the mainstay of the local economy. It retains its traditional Berber culture and Arabic flavor, with an architectural style that combines the practical and decorative aspects of the desert region. Maysad is not only a transportation node connecting the northern coast with the southern desert region, but also a window to experience life in a Saharan oasis and traditional North African culture, attracting tourists exploring the desert civilization.
