from the narrow streets of Madaba you’ll see beautiful views to mosques

some buildings have windows fully covered with lattice, but at the same time the windows on balcony are now, what's the point you might wonder as potential thefts can easily break through that window

The doors in Madaba are not cool as in old towns of any Tunisian city, but they deserve to be noted
