It is famous for it's Monday morning market and it's mud brick architecture (mainly the Great Mosque). We rolled into town Sunday afternoon, and after a little tiff with the manager of the 1st hotel where our mosquito infested room was fumigated to no avail, we moved on to much more comfortable digs right off the main square where the market would take place on Monday.
We paid for a guide to show us the town – very cool as we got to climb up on to the roof of one mud house and survey the town in addition to learning more about the architectural style, history and the people of the area.
Pandemonium does not begin to describe the market the following morning – I managed to snap a lot of poor photos being downgraded to my point and shoot. Most of these pics are Maries as well as the video…
The market was amazing…. loud, crowded, and FULL of pretty much anything you wanted to buy. Definitely worth the trip!
