Tipasa

Good to know

Best time to go: October–April
Budget: $$
Coordinates: Open in maps

Pines and ruins meet the sea at Tipasa, a Phoenician trading post on the Algerian coast that Rome refashioned into a springboard for its advance on the Mauretanian kingdoms. The shoreline preserves an unusual mingling of worlds — Punic, Roman, early Christian and Byzantine remains side by side — while inland rises the Kbor er Roumia, the great circular royal mausoleum of Mauretania. UNESCO added Tipasa to the World Heritage List in 1982.
