What to see and do — Tizi Ouzou

Tizi Ouzou is the historical homeland of Amazighs (Berbers), people whose presence traces to ancient Numidia. During Middle Ages, the region becomes resistance center against Arab invasions, Kabyles preserving language and traditions. Ottoman period sees Kabylie remaining largely autonomous, controlled by village confederations (djemaa). French colonization (from 1857) provokes fierce resistance: Mokrani's revolt (1871) and other insurrections mark the century. Kabylie becomes major center of Algerian independence war. After 1962, Tizi Ouzou remains bastion of Amazigh language and culture, with movements for Tamazight recognition (recognized as Algeria's official language in 2016).
