Djoulia Oued Arch

NABSQNO 34Q 641020 1829859 Chad

Djoula Oued Arch is a spectacular example of an abandoned natural arch. In the photo above, it looks more delicate than Delicate Arch, but in the photo below, taken from a different angle, it can be seen to be a much sturdier formation. The arch is located near Djoula Oued ("oued" is the Arabic word for "wash") in the Djoula region of the Ennedi area of Chad. It has a measured span of 46 feet and a measured height of 107 feet.

Bottom two photos by Jacques Taberlet (Fouderg - view his Ennedi slide show.)
