It is located 146 miles (235 km) by road south of Annaba and 12 miles (19 km) west of the frontier with Tunisia. Tébessa was an outpost of Carthage in the 7th century BCE and a Roman garrison town in 146 BCE. It declined in the 5th and 6th centuries CE and disappeared from history after the Arab invasion of the 7th century. The Turks stationed a small military garrison there, and, after French rule began in Algeria in 1830, Tébessa was developed as the easternmost of the Algerian gateways to the south. #history](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3399/ee2e2bd1-e5e2-43e3-aff8-a746c9f4072f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Tbessa ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
