Tamera[1] is a location, and valley in northern Tunisia.

During the Roman Empire, Tagarbala,[2] was a civitas of the Roman province of Byzacena during late antiquity. The Roman town is identifiable with ruins at Bordj-Tamra.

The town saw British airborne operations in North Africa during World War II.[3][4][5][6][7]

There is a railway station there.[8]
