history
Before 1962 called Fort de l'Eau (French: water fortress) under French rule, it used to be a famous beach resort in the Bay of Algiers with luxury hotels and a casino. Pollution from urbanization, nearby industrialization, and untreated sewage hurt its status, and the beach has not been popular since the late 1970s.
