Kaouara

Kaouara lies in the dry country near Sanam, on the southern margins of the Azawagh. Here old valleys such as the Ahzar d'Aghaghey cross a landscape of dunes and shallow hollows. Seasonal rain collects between the dunes around Sanam and Takanamat, leaving temporary pools where the ground otherwise offers little open water. These scattered waters are part of the pastoral landscape of the Azawagh, where herds move in search of pasture.
