Founded by the Phoenicians, then magnified by the Romans, Tipaza (Tipasa, “the passage”) became one of the most prosperous ports of Caesarian Mauritania in the IIᵉ century. Its UNESCO-listed archaeological site is still home to forums, amphitheaters, thermal baths, basilicas and necropolises. Albert Camus, who fell in love with the place, immortalized it in his writings. The modern city has soberly built itself around this heritage.
Tipaza is a living postcard. At every step, you come across a piece of history, a whiff of the sea, a glint of sunlight on a collapsed column. It's a place that can't be told, but felt. For those seeking to experience Algeria in all its naked beauty, Tipaza is a must. A journey through time, facing the eternity of the Mediterranean.
Between Tipaza and Cherchell, admire this monumental tomb dating from the 1st century BC, dedicated to Juba II and Cleopatra Selene. Its circular, Berber-inspired architecture dominates the landscape, intriguing visitors with its majesty. A place steeped in history and legend, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, it boasts Roman ruins, a basilica, a forum and an amphitheatre on the seafront. A fascinating journey through the centuries, between the turquoise sea and stones steeped in memory. A must for lovers of archaeology, nature and great landscapes.
Paddle along the Tipaza coast to discover the sea caves and secret coves of Mount Chenoua. A supervised activity, accessible to all, combining physical effort and spectacular scenery. Perfect for an adventure at sea, combining wild nature and gentle sensations.
