Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Berriane is a medium-sized town in the south of Algeria and the capital of the district of the same name in the province of Ghardaïa. It is located in the north of the Sahara desert, in the extreme North of the wilaya of Ghardaïa, 554 km south of Algiers and 43 km north of Ghardaïa City. It occupies an area of 2.250 km². It is crossed by the National Road 01, one of the country's important communication lines. In addition to its regional importance from the demographic, economic and cultural point of view, the commune of Berriane occupies a strategic position, connecting the cities of the South to those of the North. Its green palm grove forms a beautiful oasis which offers to its urban environment a microclimate in an area characterized by an arid climate. Although an ancient Berber town, with a majority Zenata Ibadi population, in recent years many Chaambi Arabs have settled there. In march of 2008 and february 2009 it was the scene of heavy riots between Berbers and Arabs, in which at least 4 native Berbers were killed.
