Sahra is the Khaled album released in 1996, the one that contains Aïcha, written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and a huge hit. The king of rai blends his Algerian roots with sounds from elsewhere.
Produced notably with Don Was and Philippe Eidel, this audio CD moves from rai to touches of reggae, pop and jazz. A rich and varied Khaled Sahra album, which introduced rai to a very wide audience.
This Cheb Khaled album can be played on a hi-fi, in the car or on a computer with a disc drive. A good way into Khaled’s work.
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have read buyers’ feedback on Khaled’s Sahra album to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
Where we lean: to discover Khaled with the Aïcha album, it is a classic. For the rai of his early days, see the Best Of below. And find our whole selection in our Arabic music section.
Khaled’s discography spans thirty years of rai. Here is how Sahra compares with three other records in high demand.
| Album | Size | Period | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sahra Khaled · Capitol |
1 CD | 1996 | Discovering Aïcha |
| 4 CD box set Khaled · Universal |
4 CDs | 1990s | Having it all |
| Best Of Cheb Khaled · Wagram |
1 CD | 1980s | The early rai |
| N’ssi N’ssi Khaled · Barclay |

The Khaled 4 CD box set brings together Khaled, N’ssi N’ssi, Sahra and Kenza. It suits anyone who wants the whole period. Sahra on its own is enough for a first discovery.
The Best Of by Cheb Khaled gathers his tracks from the 1980s, which are rawer. It is the rai of Oran. Sahra is more polished and more international.
The N’ssi N’ssi album by Khaled comes before Sahra and builds on the success of Didi. It completes a collection of 1990s records.
Aïcha is on the album Sahra, released in 1996. The song was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman.
A popular music born in western Algeria, around Oran. Khaled, nicknamed the king of rai, made it known all over the world.
Yes, on any car stereo or hi-fi with a CD player, as well as on a computer with a disc drive.
