DAKHLA
Street scenes of old Al-Qasr
As the only old town of Dakhla, it is possible for a first time visitor to get lost here. It really does take some time to cover the area.
The old town holds many fine and creative details and shapes. Many of the doorways are centuries old, some dating even back to Mamluk times.
Walking the area is best done together with one of the guides that meet up at the small space in front of the new white mosque. Not that a person speaking only his native tongue will tell you stories, but he knows which streets hold the good stuff, and most important: He carries a key to open closed doors.
