The Avenue of the Forty Scholars, the main street running through Ouadane. View looking down along the escarpment. Inside a house belonging to one of the founding fathers of the city.
View from the bottom of the escarpment. The second mosque at the top of the city. The stone minaret of the second mosque.
A traditional door in the old city. View of the city from outside the city walls. The oldest mosque at the bottom of the city in the last rays of the setting sun.
