In Algiers, the memory of Albert Camus still lives through the streets. In the district of Belcourt, now Belouizdad, one can trace the early footsteps of a child from a modest background, shaped by solidarity and the dignity of working-class families.

It was here that he grew up, played football, attended school, and met the teacher who would profoundly influence his life journey.

This literary tour reveals a vibrant city deeply connected to the path of a philosopher and writer.

4️⃣ Roman ruins of Tipaza

The ancient site of Tipaza, located 75 km west of Algiers, preserves the essential remains of a major Roman city in North Africa.

Among the main vestiges are the theater, amphitheater, forum, baths, and nymphaeum, all testifying to the public life and urban refinement of the era. Visitors can also observe Roman houses, structured street networks, and hydraulic installations.
