Ouadane Oudane had its glory days when the slave and gold caravans between Morocco and Ghana made their last stop here. But that is long ago. Now there is just a nice, but very quite oasis town left. The wadi and the remains of the fort are impressive and it is nice to wander around in the date palmery. East of the modern town is a cliff with remains of Ksar el Klali fort and a mosque. Furtermore there is a museum here and a library you can visit. Oudane is about 120 kilometer from Chinguetti and double that from Atar. But rides are quite irregular. When driving yourself you need a 4WD and a guide might be a good idea as well, especially if you want to do Chinguetti-Ouadane.
