Encyclopedic overview

Adrar (Arabic: ولاية أدرار, Berber languages: ⴰⴷⵔⴰⵔ) is a province (wilaya) in southwestern Algeria, named after its capital Adrar. It is the second-largest province, with an area of 254 000 km, roughly the size of the US state of Wyoming. It had 401,297 inhabitants at the 2008 population census.

The provincial capital, named Adrar, serves as the administrative and economic center of the region. Historically, the province's oases have served as waypoints for Saharan caravan routes. These settlements are well known for their red mud-brick architecture and longstanding traditions in Islamic scholarship and desert agriculture.
