is an oasis town in northeastern Algeria located in M’Sila province
between the Chott el-Hodna (salt lake) and the Saharan Atlas Mountains,
approximately 245 kilometers (152 miles) south of Algiers.

- the hole in the handle it's to pass through the leather cord
and to secure it with a node, to don't lost the scabbard
