Aflou is the capital of the Ain Diffra Governorate in northern Algeria, situated in the western section of the Sahara Atlas Mountains at an altitude of about 1,400 meters. The city is famous for its mild Mediterranean climate and the surrounding fertile agricultural area, which produces grains, olives and fruits and is known as the "breadbasket".
Once an important military stronghold during the French colonial period, Avlou has a unique blend of European architecture and traditional Algerian markets. Visitors are attracted by local handicrafts and the weekly souk, which showcases the coexistence of Berber and Arab traditions.
The city is surrounded by natural landscapes such as the Jebel Deneis Mountains, which are suitable for hiking and eco-tourism. As one of the gateways to the Sahara Desert, Aflou functions as a transportation hub connecting the northern coast with the southern desert region, and its tranquil oasis setting offers travelers a place to rest.
