El Feidja National Park
الحديقة الوطنية بالفايجة
A protected cork oak and oak forest in the mountains along the Algerian border, and one of the only habitats in North Africa for Barbary red deer.
El Feidja National Park lies north of Ghardimaou, in the Kroumirie hills right next to the Algerian border. It covers about 2,600 hectares of well-preserved cork and Portuguese oak forest, rising above 1,000 meters in elevation. Barbary red deer, a species native to North Africa, have been reintroduced here. The park has an ecological museum, observation fences, and trails for hiking and birdwatching. Facilities are basic and the mountain roads are long, so it is best to hire a car or follow a local guide. Visitors in border areas should carry identification and follow safety rules.
