Notes	This research aims to study the scientific movement in the Beylik of the East and the Sahara during the Ottoman era, with a focus on prominent scientific cities such as Constantine, Annaba, Toat, Ouargla and Mizab. The study highlights the pivotal role of these metropolises in enriching scientific and cultural life in Algeria thanks to their geographical and sectarian diversity and their interaction with neighboring metropolises. Constantine was a prominent scientific and administrative center thanks to the support of the Ottoman Beys and the establishment of educational institutions such as the Linen School, while Annaba witnessed a distinguished scientific presence of families such as Al-Buni. As for the Sahara Desert, cities such as Touat, Ouargla, and Mizab emerged as scientific centers of particular importance, where the legal and rational sciences flourished thanks to their strategic location on the desert trade routes, which facilitated the movement of scholars and books. The research indicates the sectarian diversity between the Malikis and Ibadis in these cities, which added richness to scientific life, while noting the absence of a central university such as Al-Zaytouna or Al-Azhar due to the scientific balance between the different cities. The study seeks to shed light on the various aspects of this scientific movement and its figures who played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural and intellectual scene of Algeria during that period. It also aims to review the scientific contributions of these cities through educational institutions, corners, and schools, in addition to the scientific families that played a pioneering role in spreading science and enhancing cultural life. The research concludes with recommendations to enhance the study of archives, document the Algerian scientific heritage, and conduct comparative studies between scientific cities, stressing the importance of this heritage in understanding the cultural and scientific identity of Algeria and its role in enriching the Islamic heritage.
