Small Village in the Mountains near Wadi Safafir



Small Village in the Mountains near Wadi Safafir

While exploring the many wadis in the vicinity of the copper mine in Wadi Safafir, we came across this interesting little village dubbed 'Bend' as it is located at a sharp bend in the track.

The village included a tidy assortment of buildings, a small cemetery and other constructions. There was no evidence of smelting activity.
