Abstract

Located 15km from the county town of the Wilaya of Tlemcen, near Ain Fezza (Daira of Chetouane), the caves of Beni Add offer remarkably rich concretions. We can find there some stalactites, stalagmites, draperies, columns and a huge calcite cast. It is a major cavity in the limestone massif of Tlemcen, at a depth of more than 700 meters, with a gallery and several well appointed rooms, all with adequate lighting. Everything is harmonious in there .With its pure air, quietness, cleanliness, its ideal location and attractive surroundings, Ben Add provides a smooth total change of scenery.
