OLD VILLAGE OF EL-GUELAA

When the road from El-Guelaa goes down to the trough of the Wadi valley (valley) Guelaa el-Houma, the landscape becomes idyllic, with its palm trees and ancient Berber dwellings. In the first half of the twentieth century, El-Guelaa was a large village of 3 000 inhabitants. Like its neighbours, it was gradually abandoned in the 1970 s. The houses run at the bottom of the valley and on the hillside. Some are even built in caves.
