Ouadane

Overview

Introduction

Formerly a major caravan stop, Ouadane is very isolated today. Camels are still a part of life in this desert town—the dromedaries can be rented for travel around town or to other cities (we opted for a quick spin around Ouadane). While in town, visit the Ksar el Klali (an old fort) and stroll around the oasis. The town, in the north of the country, can be reached by road from the towns of Atar and Chinguetti. 330 mi/530 km northeast of Nouakchott.
