Gara Medouar
Gara Medouar, also known as Jebel Mudawwar, Gara Mdouar or Mdoura, is a horseshoe-shaped geological formation near Sijilmasa, Morocco. In the 11th century it was developed into a fortress with a military garrison that likely protected the nearby trade city of Sijilmasa, where gold coins were minted, and the trade routes from the south.| Tap on a place to explore it |
