Ruines Romaines Tipaza
Tipasa presents a separate ruin: not everything has been cleared, and a large part of the city, explored by Stéphane Gsell in 1891, is still under sediment. In its current state, the remains form two large collections. The first is located outside the walls, at the current entrance to the city, on the right side of the road coming from Algiers, corresponding to a large necropolis and the Sainte-Salsa cathedral. The second is the archaeological park, located at the western exit of the modern city, which includes most of the monuments unearthed.

5.00Frankly, if you’re going to Algeria, you should definitely visit the Roman ruins of Tipaza, it’s an amazing place where you really feel like you’re going back in time. You walk between the basilicas, villas and thermal baths, everything is still well preserved and you can easily imagine life in Roman times, especially with the sea right next door that makes the landscape beautiful. The contrast between the old stones and the blue of the Mediterranean is super soothing, and as the site is quite large, you can visit quietly without being disturbed, take photos and enjoy the moment. Honestly, it’s not just a historical site, it’s a real experience to live.

5.00Honestly, Tipaza is a really special place. When you walk between the Roman ruins, you really feel the history of the place. The ancient stones, the columns, everything reminds you of Roman times. And what makes the place even more beautiful is the Mediterranean Sea right next door, the view is really amazing and very quiet. Frankly, it was a very nice discovery, and with Riwaya Travel everything was well organized, it’s really a very good agency.
My honest opinion

5.00We had scheduled the tour for 8am but our plane was cancelled due to bad weather in Paris so we missed the hotel night and the next flight to Algeria, we talked to the Algerian tour company to see if you could do the tour later to reach and not lose it and were very kind to modify our booking, we had also not eaten anything and even with the delay they gave us the time to take us to eat something typical, Ahmed our guide explained in detail the whole story of Tipaza, the day was very rainy and even lent us a raincoat for my husband, the weather reached us very well to fulfill the itinerary......

5.00I had a great trip with my guide Raouf to Tipaza. We had a nice lunch in one of the fish restaurants that line the road in the town centre and then to the Roman ruins (with another local guide arranged by Raouf and included in the price). My flight was cancelled and i was able to contact Raouf and the Raya team in advance. They were flexible and helpful. Good English spoken. Overall, great experience.
Excellent day trip
