Tourism
The ruins of a Christian basilica from the 5th century or 6th century are there, situated in the middle of Tigzirt.
The beach is only average in its appeal, as it is stony. It is sheltered and tucked beneath the hills which separate it from Tizi-Ouzou. A local tourist office is open in the summer months and there are lodging quarters at the Hotel el Awres on main street. A few kilometers to the east is located the more upscale Hotel Mizrana.[3]
