Ghost Town: Ouadane

Location: Mauritania    Genre: Ancient city

Once an important stop on the trans-Saharan caravan route, Ouadane is now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite a few restored structures much of it remains in ruins. Management is split between Mauritanian government ministries and preservation work is under international-local partnership. It is accessible, but very remote (see the Full Article link below for more details and photos).
