El Hamiz
El Hamiz (Arabic: الحميز; Tifinagh: ⴻⵍ ⵀⴰⵎⵉⵣ) is a commercial and residential suburb in the municipality of Dar El Beïda in Algiers, Algeria, with a population of approximately 46,000 as of 2016. Historically, the locality was known as Haouch El Bey, as it formed an agricultural estate belonging to the Bey of Constantine during the Ottoman era. The suburb's current name is derived from El Hamiz Valley, which flows adjacent to the area. State media and academic studies describe it as one of the main commercial and logistics hubs in the Algerian capital. Research published in spatial and geopolitical journals describes El Hamiz as a central node within transnational trade networks often referred to as the contemporary New Silk Road, connecting Algerian markets with manufacturing centers in China, serving as a primary national hub for the trade of home appliances, electronics, construction materials, and electrical goods. On an economic level, El Hamiz acts as a link between the Algerian market and international suppliers. Economic reports indicate that the suburb is considered a major commercial center alongside the city of El Eulma, attracting local merchants and representatives of foreign companies, particularly from China.
