Bouzareah is the eleventh district of Algiers, located in the suburbs. It has more than 200,000 inhabitants. Perched more than 600 meters above Bab El-Wadi, Bouzaréah is regarded as the true view-point of Algiers. The word "Bouzaréah" can be divided into two parts: Bou and zaréah the first means, that which "possess", the second means grain: That which possesses, which sews grain.

The first quarter is red (mouths) of the heraldic color of Africa with a tower notched to represent the fort on the climax of the solid mass (402m). The second district is color of Islam, of sinople (green) with a money koubba to point out the koubbas of Sidi-Nouman inter alia. With the third district, sinople cypresses to point out the wooded solid mass which covered formerly all the "Bouzaréah". With the fourth district the crescent of Islam with the stars which refer to the Observatory of the Celestial Village on blue of France.
