World Triathlon

Dear athletes, delegations and guests,

We are very happy to welcome athletes from Africa and athletes from all continents, women and men, to participate in our African Triathlon Cup, and to visit our country, more particularly the thousand-year-old city of Tipaza, steeped in history, located 60 km west of Algiers. The Wilaya of Tipaza, known more particularly for its Roman ruins, attests to a civilization rich in history, whose remains, still present and numerous, testify to a rich and prosperous past and era, of which many artists have not finished raving about its beauty. Overlooking the Mediterranean and located at the foot of Mount Chenoua, it has the charm of the cities that gives it the proximity of the mountains and the sea. It is distinguished by its tourist vocation, with an important historical heritage. It has two of the largest tourist complexes in Algeria. In the shelter of a pretty cove, the seaside resort "Tipaza Village" is nestled with its fine sandy beach, swept by an azure blue sea. Among its famous sites are the Roman ruins, located in the center of the city, an archaeological site classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2002 and which is considered one of the most extraordinary Archaeological Complex in the Maghreb. Not far from Tipaza, there is Cherchell, the ancient Lol-Caesarea, founded in 25 BC by Juba II, under the name of Caesarea of Mauretania, (Caesarea), which will become the center of a radiant political power. Tipaza is also a city with Mediterranean culinary art and a place of Andalusian music, making it, with its golden sandy beaches, a destination for family holidays, under a radiant sun, in the heart of tourist centres that offer excellent value for money. During your stay, we hope to offer you the best sensations, accompanying you in your sporting effort and inviting you to soak up the local culture and the legendary hospitality of its inhabitants.
