General presentation
Annaba
Annaba connects the ancient Hippo, the Basilica of St.Augustin and the monuments of the old town in the same coastal basin. The Edough massif opens up a different perspective on this territory, at altitude. The destination thus allows you to cross archaeology, religious history and landscapes, with specific trips for mountain areas.
Hippo — Hippo Regius, St. Augustine Basilica of Annaba and Sidi Bou Merouane Mosque give Annaba the most eloquent landmarks. Together, they form a destination where urban life, the coastline, mountain reliefs and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: elevation and condition of roads varying according to sector and season and time, rates and detailed accessibility unverified. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Hippone — Hippo Regius
Hippo is the former city associated with Annaba and the ministry of St Augustine. The archaeological site allows this character to be placed in a wider ancient urban setting, marked by the Roman and vandal periods, rather than in religious history alone.
Heritage
Basilica of St. Augustine d'Annaba
The Basilica of St. Augustine is a Catholic shrine dedicated to the Bishop of Hippo. It is a monument distinct from the ancient site: its visit links religious memory, architecture and landscape, without confusing it with a preserved church of the Augustin era.
Heritage
Mosquée Sidi Bou Merouane
Sidi Bou Merouane Mosque is located in the old town of Annaba. Founded in the Zirid period in the 11th century, it retains a major witness to local Islamic history, bringing together ancient heritages and subsequent transformations of the city.
Nature
Edough massif — Seraïdi area
Seraïdi provides a point of approach named to discover the Edough massif over Annaba. The altitude locality allows to distinguish this mountain stage from the coastline and urban monuments. The landmark is about the village, without pretending to describe the whole massif or a signposted trail departure.
