  2. Rock Engravings

    If you've got a car, there are some Rock Engravings a 15-minute drive out of town. Take the road south out past the camp site and youth hostel and keep following the road past the palmeraie . The paved road ends abruptly in front of a rock face where you'll find some good examples of rock carvings - mostly antelope and cattle -in front of you. On the drive there, look to your right and you'll see the crumbling remains of 15th-century towns built into the hillside.
