Sidi Ali Bounab is a mountain in Algeria, about 800 m in height, shared between the wilayas of Tizi Ouzou and Boumerdes. It overlooks the plain of Tadmaït. Its forests are composed mainly of cork oak.
History
During the French conquest of Algeria the area saw intense combat, including the Battle of Tadmaït.
In 1949 it was the scene of a "punitive expedition" by French gendarmes against the villages of the mountain.
