The story

Batna Aures Festival in Batna/Aures

A regional festival in Batna, administrative hub of the Aures Mountains, celebrating Chaoui Berber culture through the Rahaba collective dance, fantasia horsemanship, traditional clothing and craft demonstrations in leatherwork, weaving, pottery and wood carving, rooted in a mountain community with millennia of documented resistance and continuity.

Batna province sits within the Aures Mountains, the eastern extension of the Saharan Atlas and the historic homeland of the Chaoui, an indigenous Berber people who speak Tachawit, a Zenati-branch Berber language, and who have inhabited this rugged terrain as semi-nomadic shepherds and farmers for centuries.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Aures Mountains sheltered Berber communities against successive Roman, Vandal, Byzantine and Arab expansions over centuries, giving Chaoui cultural identity, showcased here through the Rahaba bendir-drum dance, fantasia horsemanship and traditional craft, a documented historical continuity distinct from and independent of Kabylie's better-known Amazigh culture further north

02

The mystery stays covered

This festival's craft demonstrations, spanning leatherwork, weaving, pottery and wood carving still actively practiced in Aures villages, connect visitors to living traditions rather than only staged performance
