Beni Abbes Museum — Attraction in Bani Abbas

This has to be the most ill-organized museum I ever seen, with totally faded out labels, unreadable stickers, horrendous heat and enormous panels everywhere to not take pictures, I guess so that the press won't know the state of the museum !

Actually there was an interesting display about some fusarium fungus that affects the date palm tree, and it was interesting to learn. There was also some lizard that apparently swims in the sand with webbed fingers.

Retyping the labels with black ink over white paper, a $100 job would raise this museum from 1 to 2...

A very interesting place, where you can find 4 sections, about the geology of the desert, the animals and plants that live in the area, and finally the culture of local tribe with the descriptions of the historic celebrations....

Un merveilleux endroit, j'ai eu le hasard de le visiter quand y avait ni touriste ni visiteurs... Et c'était calme et serein et j'ai profité pour attendre un coucher de soleil hors du commun là-dedans sous ces belles palmiers....
