In Mauritania, a medieval town hides red clay houses and centuries-old manuscripts.
Oualata, nicknamed “the shore of eternity,” is a magical city in the middle of the desert. Its red houses and painted doors resist wind and sand. In 16 family libraries, centuries-old manuscripts tell the stories and knowledge of ancestors. Even if the desert spreads and many houses crumble, the locals and children still play in the streets, keeping this unique city alive!
