Blida
This town is known as Blida in English and French and the pronunciation is probably quite close to how it would be pronounced in Algerian Arabic.
I have translated and done lots of work about Algeria in Arabic, French and English, thus I am quite familiar with its geography :-)

-An exhibition in Blida 1990. معرض تشكيلي في مدينة البليدة 1990
And of course, Kateb Yacine's famous 1963 poem about his mother, "La rose de Blida", known in English as "The Rose at Blida"

also Blida and Algiers are not the same place at all. Blida is a province (wilaya) of its own and the town, southwest of Algiers, is the capital of that province

If you notice Fuad, there is different levels of entities, there is a city, and town and dayira (دائرة) and hence it might be a suburb or a town that is nieghboring Algiers and capital.
Good luck

That is right, you may omit the El , and the remaining would be a spelling concern. It is a city, and might be spel in a different way .. in French may be.
