The Madonna of the Baobab also known as the shrine of St Maryam Dearit is an ancient baobab which is believed to have powers of fertility. Local women brew coffee in the shade of the tree and they believe if a traveller accepts a cup of coffee they will be blessed with children.
The tree is hollow and you can go inside, but you have to take your shoes off.
