Kerzaz

Kerzaz is a town and commune in Béchar Province, in western Algeria. It is located in the Saoura valley, an oasis region in the Sahara Desert.

Kerzaz is primarily an agricultural center, relying on date palm cultivation as a key economic activity. The town's population consists largely of Berber communities.

The town is connected to other settlements in the region by roads. The Sahara Desert surrounds the oasis, influencing the local climate and lifestyle.

Historically, Kerzaz, like other oases in the region, served as a trading post along trans-Saharan routes. While its prominence in long-distance trade has diminished, it remains a significant local market center.
