Initially, he worked as a consultant to the Algerian National Library before moving on to become an editor of television and radio programmes. He has worked for Algeria's national broadcaster ENTV.
As an author, Boukebba has published short story collections, volumes of poetry and novels. He has received the President Award in Algeria for his writing.
