TOMBOUCTOU 52 JOURS (Zagora)
This world famous sign showing the way to Tombouctou (Mali) through the Sahara Desert in 52 days by camel is still there, though it needs to be repainted urgently!
It's in the main street, in the centre of the town, by a huge new municipal building. If you don't find it, ask, everybody knows it.

stewarth99 Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:16 UTC Remember that the area of the palmeries is a flood plain. Every 70 years or so. So those expensive houses, hotels and golf courses will all be wiped out one day. Just pray for the residents and workers there at the time. Mozzies are fearsome in season.	xuessium Sat Dec 22, 2007 16:21 UTC Wonderful map and tips for "A Day @ Djema El Fnaa". Just what I'm looking for. Cheers!
