Bouira Algeria town, north-central Algeria. Bouira is situated southwest of the Grand Kabylie mountains, near the watershed of the Isser and Soummam wadis and 93km (58 miles) southeast of Algiers.

Bouira in Arabic means "The Small Wells" is a market centre for a low-yield olive and cereal producing area.

The surrounding region is encompassed by the ranges and valleys of the Tell Atlas. Although it is principally a region of olive and cereal cultivation, there are also vineyards near Ain-Bessam in the north. Sour-el-Ghozlane in the drier south is a trading centre for horses, cattle, and sheep.
