Displayed: times.Tlemcen is a town in Northwestern Algeria, and the seat of government in Tlemcen Province. Its population is an estimated 130,000. The name comes from the Berber word "tilmisane," for springs. Located inland, it is located in the center of a region known for its olive plantations and vineyards. The city has developed leather, carpet, and textile industries, which it ships to the port of Rashgun for export. Its centuries of rich history and culture have made the city a center of a unique blend of music and art. Its textiles and handicrafts, its elegant blend of Arab, Berber, and French cultures, and its cool climate in the mountains have made it an important center of tourism in Algeria. It is home to two beautiful tombs - that of Sidi Bou Mediene, whose tomb adjoins to a mosque, and Houari Boumédičnne, the second president of Algeria. It also has an international airport.
