Lakhdaria

Lakhdaria (Arabic: الأخضرية), is a town in northern Algeria, in the Bouïra Province.

It is surrounded by the Kabylie mountains, and by a 3 miles long river named oued Isser, passing by rocky mountains called the grottoes of Lakhdaira.

It was renamed Lakhdaria after Algerian independence in honour of Mokrani Rabah Lakhdar, known as Si Lakhdar, a senior FLN leader during the Algerian War.

Farming, construction and transportation are the main sources of employment of the local population.

[citation needed] A telecommunication site is located in East of Lakhdaria that includes huge TV transmitters and receivers that is used by the Algerian television.
