Travel Guide Ra-Hamidou

The entrance of Ra-Hamidou (ex-Pointe Pescade) is marked by the former Lafarge cement plant reprise by the ERCC group on the left. Pescade, which comes from the Spanish name pescado meaning "fish", referred to the richness of the coast in fish and molluscs. At the entrance to the alley leading to the Franco beach, the sympathique fish ndaxté of Hamid "the King of Chips" was known in colonial times for its good chips "house", it is always a beautiful stop on the road of Tipasa to taste some good sardines. At the left of Ra-Hamidou, the tombs of the small Muslim cemetery surround the zaouïa and overlook the sea. The desire of the poet Jean Sénac to be buried there will not have been fulfilled, his body resting at the Christian cemetery of Ain-Benian. The road then runs through the vast Forêt forest of Eucalyptus, Aleppo pine and cork oaks. The beaches of Belvedere, La Fayette, Bekkouche, the pigeons, the binoculars, the Cape Caxine, the Lighthouse follow.
