Located about 15 km from Algiers between the mouth of the El Harrach river and Cap Matifou, Bordj El Kiffan takes its name from the fort built by the Ottomans in the 16th century. In the middle of the 19th century, Mahonnais settled in the commune and developed market gardening along the coast.Bordj El Kiffan means "Fort of the Precipices" but the city was named Fort-de-l'Eau by the French during the colonial period.A seaside resort renowned for its beaches (Altairac, Verte rive, Lido, etc.), its casino and its skewers on the main boulevard, the city remains very popular in summer, especially among young people for its water parks.Since 2011, the tramway has been linking the town to Mohammadia and Les Fusillés (Hussein Dey). An additional section extending the line from Bordj el Kiffan to Café Chergui in the east was inaugurated in 2014, before being extended by six additional stations to Dergana. This section has been open to the public since 2015.
