I am from Algeria. I've been to Tipasa multiple times when I was a student in Algiers, the capital, since it was a very short ride. Tipasa has a truly magical coast, with all the amazing Numidian, Roman and Byzantine ruins, but also the sea. While there, you observe the blending of the mountains, the rocks, the beautiful, calm and shining Mediterranean sea and all the temples and the ruins. It takes you to another dimension of feelings and relaxation. It was a very good place of inspiration for me.
Algeria is a kind of a hidden gem. There are many other impressive sites and much larger and better preserved Roman cities. Few minutes from my hometown, Setif, there is Djemila [1]. The preserved arches, basilicas, bathes, theatres and markets is just super impressive.
A larger and bigger site is in Batna, a neighboring city of Setif. The site is called Timgad [2], usually the preferred place for cultural events. Timgad is definitely one of the greatest world heritage sites, absolutely on the same order of Pompeii.
Another impressive city is Constantine [3], or equally Béjaïa and also obviously the The Casbah in Algiers [4].
On the Sahara side, there is the Tassili [5] and The Hoggar mountains.
