Old town core
The oldest part of town is a tight mesh of narrow, irregular lanes. It is typical of Saharan settlements and forms the densest area on the map.

The map
El Abiodh Sidi Cheikh lies in El Bayadh province, where the high plateaus of western Algeria begin to give way to the Sahara. On a map, the town is a compact cluster set against a vast, nearly empty background. Its old core of tight lanes meets newer, more regular blocks, and a few roads lead out across open desert terrain.
The town takes its name from Sidi Cheikh, a sixteenth-century Sufi saint whose descendants, the Ouled Sidi Cheikh, became one of the most influential religious and tribal lineages in the region. His tomb remains a place of pilgrimage. In the 1860s the family led a long uprising against French rule.
An El Abiodh Sidi Cheikh map poster is defined by contrast. It shows the dense knot of the ksar-like centre, the gardens and dry riverbeds nearby, and the enormous emptiness around them. It is a striking, minimal composition with a deep sense of place.
The oldest part of town is a tight mesh of narrow, irregular lanes. It is typical of Saharan settlements and forms the densest area on the map.
The saint's tomb has long been the spiritual centre of the town. The surrounding streets reflect centuries of pilgrimage and settlement around it.
Few roads cross the land around the town, and dry watercourses trace faint lines across it. The open space frames the settlement dramatically.
