Oued Beni Barbar

Oued Beni Barbar is a wadi in Algeria. It is in the Nemencha area of the sahel, a semi-arid region north of the Sahara and is near Seiar and Bled Izaouene. Its headwater is in Djebel Metred and Djebel Moussa. The river has an average elevation of 81 m above sea level. The wadi is named for the Beni Barbar tribe who invaded and settled the area in the Middle Ages. The Oued is a ravine, delimited by relatively strong banks, which in the rainy season becomes a stream.

During the Roman Empire, a statue of the Emperor Septimius Severus was erected at the wadi.
