It is distinguished by its important location in southern Algeria, as a meeting point for caravans coming from Western Sudan. He stayed there for some time, giving lessons in jurisprudence and Sharia. Then he traveled from there to "Msad", then to "Jalqa", then to "Bumsa'ad", and during his journey he was preaching, studying, and teaching.

On his way to the East A number of contemporary Senussi historians agree that Ibn al-Senussi, after this journey between the cities of inland Algeria, left Algeria for Tunisia, heading east. Richard says: "He went from Fez to southern Algeria, then to Gabès, then to Tripoli, then to Misrata." And Shukri mentions that Ibn al-Senussi preached wherever he stopped during his journey.

Al-Senussi returned to his homeland, Mustaghanim, and it is said that when the French occupied Algeria, he intended to resist the occupiers, but he changed his mind after a famous vision that advised him to travel. He was in Boussaada for six months before the French occupied Algeria. He says: "Whether this incident hastened his departure or he was determined to travel before it, he left for the East."

These opinions converge in that they see that Ibn al-Senussi was in Algeria when the French occupied it, and that he migrated to the East in that year without returning to his country. We disagree with these opinions and believe that Ibn al-Senussi, after his journey in the cities of Algeria, returned to Mustaghanim, and that was about ten years before the French occupied Algeria. This is the opinion of King Idris, who says that his grandfather returned to Shukri.
