Two railway stations lie within the boundaries of Sidi Abdellah, the Sidi Abdellah and the Université de Sidi Abdellah. They are located on the Birtouta–Zéralda line and are served by trains from the Algiers suburban rail network managed by the National Company for Rail Transport (SNTF).

When it was created in 2004, Sidi Abdellah was projected to include 54,000 dwellings and 270,000 inhabitants when completed. In 2020, this was revised to a projected 90,000 dwellings and 450,000 inhabitants when completed.^[3]

When completed, the community is planned to have eight districts: a city center; an information and communications technologies district; a pharmaceutical district; a commercial district; a university district; a security district; a health district; and a relaxation and leisure district.
