El Idrissia

Zenina lies in the high country west of Djelfa, where the Ouled Naïl ranges approach the open steppe. Seasonal watercourses run through a landscape occupied by herding communities for a very long time; rock engravings in the wider region preserve traces of much older inhabitants and their animals. The neighbouring country was home to the Ouled Saad ben Salem, whose camps were part of the social landscape around Laghouat.
