الجزائر بداية الاحتلال الفرنسي من خلال رحلة ابن طوير الجنة الوداني (1248 هـ 1832 م)‎

Abstract EN

The journey is considered as one of the main sources of history, particularly the Hijazi journey.

through history, many Maghrebi, African Shanqitt travelers passed across Algeria because of its geographical location as being the main route for the Maghrebi and African pilgrims, including al-Ayyashi, al-Nassiri, al-Walati, Ibn Malih, and others.

amongst the travelers who passed across Algeria at the beginning of the french occupation, Ibn Tuweyr al-Janna al-Waddani, in 1248 HA/1823 AD, he stayed in the cities of Bejaia and Algiers.

though his stay in Algeria was short, he could describe some events he witnessed including the French occupation of Algeria, and his view of the colonization.

he provided us with a description of the prevailing situation at that time including the ordinary people’s beliefs.

therefore, he left an important source about Algeria at the beginning of the French occupation, which is our topic in this article.
