Sidi Ali Bounab

Sidi Ali Bounab is a mountain in Algeria, about 800 m in height, shared between the wilayas of Tizi Ouzou and Boumerdes. It overlooks the plain of Tadmaït. Its forests are composed mainly of cork oak.[1]

In 1949 it was the scene of a "punitive expedition" by French gendarmes against the villages of the mountain.[2]
