Description

There is a village on that mountain named Chenoua. A majority of its inhabitants speak a Berber language, the Chenoua language. According to local tradition the mountain range looks like a reclining pregnant woman from a certain distance.

Mount Chenoua is the site of Assia Djebar's film La Nouba des Femmes du Mont-Chenoua. It also features prominently in Albert Camus' posthumously published novel, A Happy Death. There is also a Stone Eagle statue that was built in 1991.
