Cheffia is a town and commune in El Taref Province, Algeria. According to the 1998 census it has a population of 7,450.[1]
The Cheffia valley was described in 1868 by Reboud[2] as being comprised between the eastern slope of the Bou Habet and a series of grassy knolls where a few gardens and clumps of azeroliers stand here and there. It is a valley which measures from north to south about fifteen kilometres and five kilometres wide. It is divided into two basins by the cultivated plateau of Sidi-Bou-Aoun, which has large stones.
