Introduction to Maoum, Algeria
Maoum (Mâatkas) is a commune in the Tiziouzou Province of northern Algeria, located in the Kabylia Region. The area is known for its magnificent view of the Atlas Mountains and its traditional Berber culture, and is located about 30 kilometers from Tizi-Ouzou, the capital of the province. Ma'um is located at an altitude of about 800 meters above sea level and is surrounded by olive groves and fruit orchards, where agriculture is an important pillar of the local economy.
Geographical and climatic characteristics
Ma'um is situated in the transition zone between a Mediterranean climate and a semi-arid climate, with warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. The terrain is predominantly mountainous, suitable for hiking and nature exploration, and the neighboring Jurjurra National Park is rich in biodiversity.
Culture and Economy
The population is predominantly Kabylian Berber, which retains a distinctive language (Tamazighat) and craft traditions such as pottery and weaving. The economy is based on agriculture (olives, figs) and small-scale commerce, with a gradual development of ecotourism in recent years.
Transportation and access
Tiziouzou and Algiers (the capital) are connected by the RN12 highway, about 2 hours by car. A visit in spring or fall is recommended to avoid the summer heat and to experience traditional local festivities.
