Hammam Bou Hadjar (Arabic:حمام بو حجار) is a commune of Algeria in the wilaya of Aïn Témouchent, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In 2008 its population was about 34,000 inhabitants. It houses a famous termal station in operation since 1974, which takes advantage of the thermal waters that flow from a monumental rock, known as Le Rocher (represented in the stamp).
