Bouzareah or Bouzaréah (Arabic: بوزريعة, romanized: Būzareah), formerly known as Bouzriah (Arabic: بوزالرياح), is a suburb of Algiers, Algeria. The former name is derived from Arabic and is commonly interpreted as meaning “city of the wind.” Bouzareah is situated at an altitude of over 300 metres above sea level. According to the 1998 census, it had a population of 69,200. The current name is also of Arabic origin and is generally understood to mean “of the grain” or “from the grain.” The district hosts several foreign diplomatic missions, including the embassies of Niger, Oman, and Mauritania.
