Consolidated journal
Descriptions, photographs, and details
The entry below preserves the useful material that previously lived inside a broader regional route.
Ouadane
The old town occupies a stony slope where ruined walls, courtyards, and the historic mosque make the former caravan network legible. Its partial abandonment is not romantic emptiness; it records economic and environmental change and the movement of families toward other centres.
Broader route context remains in the source travel guide.
