Description
Biskra is a city located in northeastern Algeria, serving as the capital of the Biskra Province. It is known for its rich history and cultural significance, having been a prominent hub during Roman times when it was known as Vescera. The city is located near the Sahara Desert, resulting in a hot desert climate with very little rainfall, making it a unique destination for both tourists and locals.
The economy of Biskra is primarily based on agriculture, with crops such as dates and citrus fruits being commonly produced in the region. The city is often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Sahara' due to its proximity to desert landscapes, attracting visitors who are interested in exploring the natural beauty and experiencing traditional Berber and Arab cultures.
Biskra is also home to several historical sites and landmarks, including the ancient Roman ruins, traditional mud-brick architecture, and the nearby oasis of Sidi Okba. These sites, along with its vibrant markets and festivals, contribute to the city's charm and are a testament to its diverse heritage.
