Metlili
This is where I live, it's a small town in Southern Algeria named Metlili. The tribe here is the Chaambia tribe, their origins are Yemen and the population is about 25,000. This is a valley, completely surrounded by mountains and full of date trees as the reservoir underneath it, I have been told, is one of the largest in the world. So said it is the reason the Arabs that migrated here stayed.
