Camarata (Punic: 𐤊𐤌𐤀, KMʾ)[1][2] was a Carthaginian and Roman port on the Mediterranean near Siga in Mauretania. Under the Romans, it was part of the province of Mauretania Caesariensis. Its ruins are thought to be those at the mouth of the Wadi Ghazer at Sidi Djelloul in Sidi Safi, Algeria.[3][better source needed] The maritime town was near Siga.[4]
